1. Lovely, very poetic! :O)

   1. Thanks, Madeleine.

2. Lovely! Both the frost and the haiku. I agree, I stay inside, too, when it’s icy out.

   1. Barbara — I wrote this last night blissfully unaware that it would come true today!

3. Poetic description of those icy fingers.

   1. Akelamalu — that’s what I was going for.

4. How true it is over here in the East. Lovely words, but I am getting mighty tired of being locked inside.

   1. Stacy — yeah, Amoeba’s family lives in Massachusetts and they’ve had plenty, although not as much as folks further east. We even had snow today and it rarely ever snows here.

5. Although I’m in sunny Mexico at the moment, I’ll be going back to “cold country” very soon–and then I’ll become intimately reacquainted with those delicate lines and swirls of which you write!

   1. MMT — soak up as much sun as you can to take with you. I am suffering a definite lack of vitamin D.

6. We’re finally above freezing so I’m going to not think about frost right now! The cabin fever was starting to get to me.

   1. Karen, we had SNOW! Really, it snowed for about 3 hours, big fluffy flakes. Then the power went out. That’s TWO real, honest winter days we have had this year. TWO! Time to go back to Hawaii!

7. Lovely frost art in winter and you do not have to stay indoors ‘coz I’ve given a solution in my Haiku.posted 4th 🙂

   Have a great day!!

   1. Nanka — I am seldom warm in winter. My fireplace and my Snuggy are my friends.

8. It is beautiful and you’re right-I’m staying inside! Loved this!

   1. Becky — pull up a chair by my fireplace. You want a cup of tea?

9. Great poem – you’d have to replace the last line with “runs outside to play” if it was me!

   1. RiA — brrrr — “runs inside screaming” is me. 😉

10. Artistic in image and in words. Like the contrast between delicate and yet locked inside…Beautiful!

    1. Donna — thanks. I tried to play up that contrast, but didn’t have enough syllables (or brain power) to make it work!

11. Brrrr, I got a chill just reading this one! It is great!

12. I love the patterns frost makes on the windows. Someday I’ll figure out a way to photograph it. In the meantime, your haiku evokes the delicate tracery perfectly!

13. Love it!

14. Well said, my friend! I have to say I’m feeling it more and more as I get older. Being cold is highly overrated!!

    It’s been a great year, hasn’t it? Full of big changes for both of us. Glad we took the ride together (so to speak!)

    Happy New Year!!

15. What a lovely prison. Enjoy the quiet and stay warm.
