Today’s haiku was also my response to the prompt I created for a post to my Facebook group, Virtual Haiku Workshop. (If you’re on Facebook and interested in joining, please send a request through the group page!) The prompt was to write a haiku using the first line “fresh-fallen snow.”

doesn't hesitate
