If 8th is considered a win, then I suppose she liked it well enough. How kind of you to check. Thank you. I KNOW that line appeals to you...me, too.

Another couple of remarks on this outstanding haiku. This is trochee, as far as I can see. The Russian haiku I mentioned is dactyl. It would be fun to do something like that with iambus. Hm, it's kinda challenge)

I would love to read it presented that way, Kurt. If it pleases you, write it in that style.

How come rhymes in haiku?! I saw it once in Russian, never in English, let alone alliterations and so on. Amazing! Great thing and win, as far as I can seeing)

I am very pleased by your commendation, and apologize if you think I assumed you didn't know how to write Haiku. I don't stray from the 5-7-5 form. I'm guess I'm old school.

I know how to make haiku (who doesn't?). That's why I exalt this outstanding one. It's off the charts.

Haiku usually does not rhyme, but it can include the repetition of words or sounds. Many traditional rules of Haiku have been broken, rhyming being one. It was not intentional that my 1st and 3rd lines rhymed, but when all 3 lines are read in one breath(as Haiku should be) it flows lyrically to my ears. Thank you for the interest.

Thank you very much, Kai. I saw enough snow while living in Colorado for 4 years. Now I'm back in New Orleans where winter sets the stage with greenery and a mid temp of 40. I do miss the first snow, though.
