December 12: Fresh snow
Kristen Lindquist
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.”
fresh-fallen snow
still the river
doesn't hesitate
