on the tumbleweed

  1. What a great surprise to find this haiku today! I have been following Tinywords for some time & have just subscribed & am wondering how to submit poetry? & also looking forward to being a member of this site…John Di Leonardo

  2. What animals, Rhoda Galgiani? there are no animals in this double entendre haiku. A tumbleweed is a kind of plant – a product of nature!

  3. A lovely haiku. I can feel the dry cold bite thru my jacket and see the sparkle of the early morning sun reflect off the skeins of ice.
    syllable’17, define coyote.

  4. In answer to your query, Sublee Knapp, a coyote (strict definition)is: a small wolf native to western North America.
