    Michael, this is beautiful.
    I for one am not looking forward to the cold because it makes all my old joints ache and only have my own body heat to make me warm lol though I do like cosying next to the fire on those cold, dark nights.

      I always presumed you'd have a furry pet. Not sure why, but there you go. We have 2 dogs and 3 cats, so no need to fear the cold in our house! Lol

    Wow. A house full then. No pets allowed where I live unfortunately.

    Michael,

    What an inspiring, image-filled haiku this is.
    What I love about your work - be it long or short - is the amount of obvious care and attention you pay to it. Everything you write is delicately crafted and thought about; no description or word picture that is there to be painted ever goes to waste by you.

    This is beautiful.

    Take care,

    Ben

      Thank you, Ben.

      I wrote this, this morning. I seem to remember sitting on a rock, looking pensive. But, now I recall I was simply lost in revelry! lol

    Judging Comment:

    This piece is really quite splendid. There is a great use of descriptive words, but without the expense of overdoing the syllable count. For being so short, as haiku are by nature, the author did an awesome job of balancing out just about every aspect of this. Very well written, I was fully entranced by the idea of the coming season.
