We are on the plus side again, thankfully, still ... gets dark at 330, not light until 730, EIGHT hours of light?? The South Pacific is screaming at me ... someday. (Now, if only every day was a new year). Love this, Mo! You are my short form hero! <3

They canceled a hockey game ... in Canada?? Say it isn't so!! And ice too brittle ... I had no idea, (shows you what I know). I haven't skated in years, (though I still have my skates), I may take a spin on the ice this year - I miss it! (Not as much as I miss skiing).

Sigh. Plus. I do miss the plus. We're in a cold snap, such that a hockey game on Parliament Hill had to be cancelled, the ice too brittle. Who'd a knew? ;) Thank you for the love my friend xomo

Maureen - this is delightful and perfect for the contest, but you are missing one syllable to hit the 17 you need. I'm sure you can easily keep 'the feel' and insert a syllable. This is too good for me not to tell you, and I'd want to know, hope you agree. All the best with this clever entry ... CayCay

I regret the false alarm! It was me who needed to re-read Silent One's instructions! You are correct, 17 syllables or less. Still, aint it good to know I've got your back? (hopefully when you actually need me to have your back) All the best ... CayCay

Thank you CayCay, you're so sweet! Contest stipulates no more than 17 syllables, less ok ...that said I could throw an "a" in there :) I am a stickler for Haiku though! Senryu too. Delighted you enjoyed it! All the best! xomo
