The Dolphins Came to Say Hello
Dolphins passing by A wonderful view to see Peace and harmony. [Author's note: I was on a roll this morning with impromptu Haikus. Frost my Red rose and then, as I sat on the balcony having my cup of tea with my two little buddies, a small school of dolphins came passing by. They chase the herring which are running at the moment.]

The Ritual of Winter Challenge Winners
Welcome to the Winners Announcement for The Ritual of Winter challenge. This prompt focused on winter rituals and the meaning that settles into them over time. The top pieces stay grounded in ordinary acts and repeated routines, letting winter shape the work through pace, attention, and restraint.

Nothing beats a cold drink after a hot day. You made me want root beer! Great haiku!
A haiku with bite! Love how the playful twist at the end bubbles up through the chill. Clever and unexpected—just like a sip of something sharp on a hot day.
I know I thank whatever’s out there when that ice water hits the back of my throat. Well done!
I have no idea what you meant here but it's an extremely hot day and I would love some sparkling cold sweetness, lol
