snow bound emotions

That's interesting. Created a couple of pictures for me. I choose to read it as "emotions headed for some kind of disaster, sudden halt of sorts.

I love your 5-7-5's. Quite q master at them, my dear! Great!

Hi Chris,
This is very good, I enjoyed it.
The only thing is on the short ones or haiku's you don't need caps-pun.
all the best.
