I have been reading a few Haiku's posted by Melissa these are wonderful, very difficult, here is my first effort, with a hidden message.

Snow

Softly falling flakes,
Kissing mountain top retreats,
In downy, drowsy white.

You, my friend, wrote an amazing haiku.  This was a brilliant first haiku.  You're a natural at it!  Please write some more for us!  

Take care,

Melissa- To you I owe my inspiration, you are teacher of form, content and magic you have shown me the way and I will always be grateful

Olias, thank you so much I am flattered, but, seriously I am by no means a great poet at all, I just try my best to write something that's decent enough to show here.
You are so very talented and truly intelligent, maybe you should be my muse now  

Tare care,
Melissa Honeybee

Great first attempt.  It doesn't show.  I am
unsure if I truely found the hidden message,
but I did find one never-the-less.
