Wooohooooo congratulations on your Leaderboard placement! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
A beautiful and unique imagery! Of course, this 'Island Gurrl' would certainly rather not have to resort to such. Necessities 🥶
When I read the middle line, I relaxed my shoulders. Your words are this powerful! haha
perfect haiku fitting the season
Fabulous writing Lamar! 💪🏾🫶🏾
Northern breeze indeed. Anyone who has lived in the cold Knows this meaning
Exactly what a Haiku does, captures the moment! Love it!
Wow. That’s exactly how felt this morning venturing out my front door into the frigid new year! Great haiku, Lamar! Good luck in the challenge!
Such a natural and comforting thing to do and captured so well in your words Lamar. Good fortune in the challenge
Man, you captured that sluggish feeling perfectly! Idk if my reflexes are natural but they sure do get lazy in the winter
Definitely relatable...what region are you in? Upstate NY is pretty frigid right now, with LOTS of snow. Many a bitter northern breeze here, haha!
Yeah, that never really helped me. That's why I hate bitter cold. But great haiku, Lamar!
So chilly and that steamed breath is all that we have. Loved your Haiku!
Oooooh. This is tight and successfully NCT and I felt a chill reading it paired with that well chosen image. Well done, sir.
Up in wisco and the wind hurts my face…why do we live here?
