Cold Mist

the fog rises up

        from snow piles like ghosts....

             cold mist flies away

Oh, this is good also, Michael. I see we are both writing 'chilly' haikus. Thank you for all the kind comments lately. I am most grateful. I'm trying to catch up on all the poems I have missed in the last two weeks. I need to read more of yours. This one is very good. Love, Deb

I love this, I also like how you have laid it out on the page, I find it hard enough to just cut and paste LOL. This is beautiful, the fog, snow and flying mist, very lofty, floating, calm

Smile ~ Quite a Haiku "My 'Dear Friend, Michael J. Falotico!!!'" ~ Seems as a moment amid natures view and also as possibly a metaphor perhaps? Either or, brushed from the bright lights of a talented and "Precious 'Life & Soul' &, Yes, 'Happy New Year' Unto 'You' Too 'My Friend'" ~ "My Love & Warmth to 'You & Yours,' Always," John! ~ Smile, "Good to See 'You' &, Have A Very 'Blessed & Beautiful' Evening; 'Great Poe;" Bye!:) ~
