    I love how simple lines make something as everyday as oats feel comforting ✨

  • I'm not a fan of oats, but anything warm and yummy is appreciated, especially on a cold day. Loved your Haiku!

  • What better warming start to a winter’s day. Good luck in the challenge Lamar

  • It always amazes me at how so few words can have so much meaning. Once again you have aced it, Lamar. Great job. Good luck with the challenge.
