The inspiration for this haiku bloomed in the aftermath of a family ice skating excursion. It was hot cocoa all ’round and my little one was captivated by the giant snowflakes falling on the icy cold side of our bay window, complete with heart drawings in the steamy cocoa fog.
Winter white blanket
of softly fallen snow through
cocoa steamed hearts

That made me almost wish I were curled by a fire and watching the snow fall. (Almost…I’m a South Florida girl through and through…lol!) I loved your haiku, Greg! 🙂
