I love the mood and visual image of this haiku (also nice the way we see the string of long johns on a clothesline without the clothesline even being mentioned)
Excellent, love this!
So much communicated in so few words; and, thanks for this happiness.
this is such a joyful haiku. Very original.
I agree with previous comments.
This is just delightful.
Yes, the smile this poem elicited was very welcome today!

Smiling and laughing. Very nicely done Marietta
Wonderful (especially seeing the lines way up in the sky on my new 27-inch monitor)
Such an uplifting (unintended pun!) haiku, Marietta! :)
