Awesome poem. Sorry , they got pushed out in the cold.
This is so heartfelt, hope the warmth returns for the holidays and beyond, happy holidays.
Brilliant work Mike!!
Hard hitting!
Short but powerful. I could feel the emotion in every line, especially the imagery of losing warmth.
Oh! Lana's right, Mike! Great imagery in this haiku, Mike!
Oh wow, some imagery in that haiku, Mike!
This was so fantastic!
