Icicles drip tears on the face of waiting Spring Flowering her smile A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

Another delightful rendition - you are a very 'genteel' writer and that is so nice indeed. I be me BUT who does me be? |

This is great! Short and very visual. Wisdom comes with winters. ** Oscar Wilde. |

Great laconic form and substance, Ellie. Haiku/Senryu is one of my favorite styles. Thanks, coyote  "The greatest of all faults is to be conscious of none." |

Tears of joy released As the cold dark nights abate Warm thoughts of Spring flow ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Spring is just beyond the horizon, Our anticipation rises with each day closer to its' reality. Beautiful reminder of what awaits the patient. Dennis :^) Moonbeams radiate |

YAY!!! I get to vote for your poem!!! I think that this poem and your haiku style of writing here will represent you very well in the book. Some real nice choice of words in your poem that inspires longing thoughts of spring's arrival. -Bob Ooops forgot to click the button and had to come back to edit in the vote....

Ellie, this Haiku is so peaceful and beautiful.  Sometimes we have to follow a stronger voice, even if it's silent. |

Ellie - This is a real, honest-to-goodness haiku! Perfectly written, tying nature to human nature. Bravo! (PS - Have you tried writing any kitty-kicker haikus?) |
