Oh another saraku? And a brilliant and icy one too, which depicts winter in the most artistic form, I absolutely love this dear sara, i always enjoy reading your seasonal poems be it long or short and this is no exception. Icy depths of your heart, that delivers and describes so much, so many emotions too, in just few syllables, and i felt that. Sending you light always, hope your weekend goes well

Hi Ink--yes, another Saraku :-) Glad you found this one to your liking. I appreciate you identifying with the many aspects of the poem. Grateful for your support and kind words. Wishing you a great weekend...snowy and icy here (strange for Texas)...a polar vortex from Canada is barreling down on the US. EEGADS. Hunkering down for the long haul. hugs, Sara
