Thoughts of Spring
Old man winter must be ready for a nap! I love the image of his old, thin, frail hands getting ready to retire for the season. Well done! I love haiku.

Hello, Clentin,
I appreciate your comments very much. I am actually still not satisfied with this, as the second line needs some work. I'd like it to be the pause, the "cutting away" line that renders the contrast of the haiku. I look forward to reading yours!
Thanks, again!
