thanks for your visit and comments, Silent One. Thanks, too, for asking about Bill. He's experiencing what I call his usual January doldrums. He eventually works through it all and will be back shortly. I appreciate your concern. Have a great evening, Sara

Oh woww, once again, this haiku has landed me in a gossamer environment, you truly weave the best haiku poems and haibuns, really.. I have not seen anyone conveying so much within few words, with elegant beauty as you do. I agree with Ink, you really are the Queen of haiku.. This one has such a delicate flow and blossoming touch in its vibrant thoughts.. Absolutely loved reading this, gorgeous Sara.. Sending you lots of love & light ~ :)

You do them so well and here i must highlight and appreciate the gentle and delicate manner you’ve woven imagery and made the rest flow. I can see through your words, winter rain and wind. Love it!

A lovely way to express the delight in winter rains - or any welcome rains. Only if the wind is gentle, though! Nice piece, Sara.

I agree...gentle winds are way better than gusty, northerly winds. Thanks for your visit...have a splendid Wednesday, Sara

Hi Sara. Golly, I have not been around snow for years and yet~~what a splendid alchemy you concocted with grace and simplicity, to reignite the memories of the beauty of winter kisses. Thank you, for writing the Haiku! Pangie

awww, thank you, Pangie! Your comments were a delight to read...and I liked the word 'concocted.' You lifted my spirts. We, too, haven't seen snow or ice in years...but a polar vortex is barreling toward Texas = extremely cold temps, ice and snow. Sigh. Have a great day, hugs, Sara
