Poet Destroyer A Date: 1/18/2022 8:01:00 AM Hello Jan, you are always at your best. Winter and roses don't go together. LOL I live in Texas, and we can't escape this. Great winter haiku, one of the best I've read, and believe me, I've read lots of haiku two years ago. I can actually picture this without the picture above. Always been a FAN...
