Haiku

Makes me think of dark, early mornings following a winter storm. There is an icy calm that follows. Well done.

Dear Tim

You're a master at pulling at the senses, this is a brilliant Haiku dark and foreboding,

This is brilliantly executed.

I wish I could convey how much this has affected me tonight, I've had a day.

Kind regards Jayne

I am a little shocked at the response

I had a tough time with this one. I’ve revised it like 6 times. I am really glad you all liked it. I felt it was mediocre but usually if I post something that needs work you guys tell me so. Ha, well I guess it’s acceptable. It’s definitely coherent.

Thanks for reading,
Tim
