Warm breath on window panes
reveals a fingered scrawl.
I love you

Rainbow in the mist
puddles the shining pavement.
Cars hum, honk like geese.

Thanks! I think I suck at haiku. I need to read more about the form to feel like I'm comfortable with it.

I know it's now February but still...
Late winter haiku.
New snow this morning.
Temperature starts to drop.
The groundhog just laughs.

Acrostic haiku
Come, good little witch
Understand my dilemma
Magic can save me

I think you should frighten your daughter
Japanese is a baad language, unlike German which is soo Uber
Serious - define this: Japanese script |

I like this, agree with her, esp the breathing part
now that should be scary to all parties concerned
