Seasoned state of mind;
Warmth melted frigid beating;
Winters grasp at hand.

Much more fun when others play!

Another twisted event behind closed doors

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.

Advantage challange;
Brisk the morning wake that be;
Slumber close in warmth.

I am so proud of you!  Wonderful news, keep us posted!

Today is the day that yesterday ends and tomorrow begins.  --me

Thank you so much for including one of my pieces, it means alot.  Thank you community....

Morsel so divine,
as frozen sugarcane sweet;
Winter gives her kiss.

Thanks BJ and E much appreciated!  There are lots of comfort in memories.

Freeze swallows the land;
Bitter cold beauty breathing;
Sun shine glistens bright.

I have seen so many amazing pictures from the ice rain that swept across the states.  Brought back some cold memories!  I lived through 2 major ice storms and will never forget the incredible quite and stunning beauty that followed.

I lost the adoption, but its OK!  Things happen for a reason.  I am lucky to be on the list for the next one!  

Super Haiku BJ, and thank you for your support and kind words!

Adventures snow bound!
Lumber your trees carefully;
Winter has arrived.

Thank you BJ and Drekinn...winter has arrived. 

I am in constant contact with the Flat Coat Retriever Society, they rescue and put up for adoption, flat coats.  I am second in wait for a new addition.  The angeles are good and loving.

Eyes bright by days light;
Morning gone to afternoon;
Moments pass, smiles wait.

Very nice Drekinn, much appreciated

Bittersweet not sour;
Sun shines warm and lovingly;
I will catch you soon

Thank you BJ, my hubby and are struggling though the toughest eve, tomorrow will be better.  Sven comes home in two weeks, basked in cobalt blue and memories that will last a life time.  He does not know he has died yet, he lingers here and I will continue my routine, the spirits say [American Indian] that I need to be "regular" in my routine, till he can be free to go.  I created a tribute for him, will post it in my fractal gallery tomorrow.  I am a poser and writer at heart, imagery is second but has taken first from the beginning.  I take from my images, stories...I will tell his tomorrow.
Thank you so much BJ...

Go soft my loved one,
into the  light so cherished.
I miss you deeply.

My puppy of 13 years passed last evening.  I am a bit lost.  The snow was his favorite element, I can see him playing as I type.
