Very nice progression here, Gautami. I was ready to hear 'saved by a blog.'
Thanks for the references/credits here.
That's not saying I will visit them, it is just nice to know of the inspiration. That's a good idea, again not saying I will do that either for myself.
..
nice collection. I'm honored that I was connected. :)
Strong immagery.
Excellent poetry.
Nicely down, Guatami. I did follow your inspiration!
Very Good girl.......
Much inspiration is seen here.
A great selection.
Well aren't you fabulous! Look at that, they're delicious...good girl ;)
I enjoyed this progression of imagse and was glad we were saved by a log in the end. Snow has a way of insisting on itself; thank goodness for the chance objects that keep us from falling into it!
These are delightful to read ... building the images slowly --- glad the log stopped your fall ...
still having fun, eh? :)
nicely done!
I really enjoyed the first haiku-- very meditative. Some of the others show great humor. Nice progression.
Enjoyed all these little "slow" moments
I love the progression. Nicely done!
'that' precipice...got me to thinking.
Thanks for the progression of precipices, or is that precipii?
That first one is a seamless, complete image in itself. I really enjoyed all of these small breaths inward...
it's nice to see you get inspired by others. and these short responses appear to even have a common theme :)
What a fun progression and collection of haiku!
i like your interpretation of the prompt! my favorite is:
knives of icicles
cannot prick into
my sandcastle dreams
Such mystery, I like! Reminds me of the Perils of Pauline.
..(i had to warn my inspiration not to pour itself out here)..many thanks for sharing these..
Clever, I like the way you used others' inspiration to write a series that so aptly describes a journey!
Wow this is neat Guatami. Like how you created this delightful winter journey. I'm honored to be on your list. Thank you.
I like all of these, many intriguing images. Perhaps my favorite is the one that least fits the overall arc -- "dracula's daughter" such a fun nonsequitur.
All are lovely word pictures, My favourite was the second one...I think many aliens have inhabited us in the winter :)
Hi Tami,
I enjoyed your haiku collection.
