Don't worry about the artwork--just keep creating these vivid descriptions! I do hope that you get your replacement soon. I could see the "bobbing branches" and again enjoyed the shift in the satori and your use of alliteration. Cheers- Joan

I have the same trouble with my iPad as site doesn't support a lot of things like fonts, colour and pictures. I like the last line it seems to seal the fate of global warming, shame Trump doesn't believe it. I feel guilty as I drive a diesel car which leaves its carbon in the air quality. Nicely done.

As I've said many times, I am always happy to see what types of pictures, graphics, and color and types of font, and all the other things. But in the end, it's the words that matter most, and sometimes I enjoy seeing what happens when the words are asked to stand alone. Great job. :-)

Yes, Gypsy, down here in Oakland we have been complaining about the cold weather, too. I put on my sweater this morning and have not removed it all day. This is a fine, region specific haiku with well-chosen words to convey a picture and a mood of unseasonable gloom. Thank you for sharing. Keep warm.

Oh yeah, and the naysayers will tell you that it's proof that there is no global warming. One thing's for sure, we're screwed. Unless God has something different in store for us than stewing in our own juices. Your poem looks fine. Good job! And good luck with your new computer!

hmmm blind ignorance? is that a blind ignorance to the unpredictability of the weather Gypsy and climate change as you allude to in your authors notes?
thanks for posting I am sure you will have varying interpretations of blind ignorance

    Thank you for the review. Our president refuses to cooperate with other countries concerning climate change and what we can do about air quality.

This is a very interesting piece. I'm hitting myself because I know you did something brilliant but I've been reading so long that I'm missing it. I apologize for that. I will have to come back to say more but I do like where you were going. I get lost on the last line, but again it's me not you. Good luck.
