Thank you so much, gw. May the icicles be dripping real soon in Chicago. Well, I can hope, can't I?

Thanks, Jenna. To me those melting icicles are harbingers of spring.

Those tears of joy means spring is in the wings ready to make a grand entrance. Cant come quick enough. Tom

Wow, this is beautiful. Another stellar haiku personifying winter. Must be happy today--old man winter.

Aw, thanks, Steven. It's not a wintry day here, although it has been freezing cold at night. I was thinking about the long icicles that hang from the eaves dripping when the weather begins to warm. I really appreciate your read and your gracious comment.
