Exit now, autumn
Songbirds take flight on gray skies
Of cold northern winds

Hi, Drekinn. If you cut and paste from a word processor you will often get the carriage return/line feed combo interpreted here as two line feeds. At least that is the way it seems to me. To avoid importing hidden formating codes, you can copy and paste from your word processor to a non-formatted editor (like Notepad) then copy and paste from Notepad to the forum. Or you can do what I end up doing a lot, edit your post to take out the extraneous Line Feeds.

Well, scratch that. I just did what I said to do, and it double spaced all my single line feeds. I'm stumped.

Winds lash, raindrops fall;
Ravaged by an autumn squall:
Washing on the line.

Rhyming haikus anyone? I like a challenge.

jstro: Bugs. Seems to be fixed now, though.

line of frost on pane
icy spectors peer in vain
heat and cold mix melts

Melts the heart, no chance;
Entombed within icy grave,
Awaiting Spring's dance.

Dance before the fire;
Thaw those bone-chilled arms and legs;
Cold and gloom conspire.

Alas, yet another season comes to an end,
Though here's the winter haiku link, to follow the trend.
