cold winter morning br manure pile br freshly brewing br br around the campfire br fired-up hearts br another round of song br br Published in the Snowdays issue (Jan-Mar 2009) of 3Lights online. See: http: www.threelightsgallery.comsnowdayshtml br br Even though these haiku were published, doesn't mean that they could not have been improved as is evident by the following changes suggested by Lillian Thomas. br br manure pile br on a winter morning br freshly brewing br br This removes the redundant 'cold', has a more balanced short-long-short form, and puts the manure pile in better focus. br br Rearranging the second one also improves the form of this haiku and reads more smoothly.
