The Killer Cold

Fall dressed for passion
dances with a cold lover...
then winter kills her.

Never knew what a haiku was but am getting the idea. You use it to great advantage with so few words and this is outstanding but then so are the others.

Well written, a pitty winter had to kill her, or else this haiku might have been longer.
