until sun deeply kisses
the night-frosted grass

Lovely, Steve. Perfect haiku and excellent ’s’ sounds of the icy conditions.

Nice haiku! I don’t use this word often, but “lovely” fits…

Beautiful. This would work really well as a haiga too, if you could find the right photograph.

Top notch, Steve! Oddly, this beautiful image made me think of Cinderella’s delicate glass slipper!?…and how it was the key to her transformation. Gave it a 5.

Errol … Cinderella, huh? Interesting. Perhaps it’s the romantic aspect of it in that “deeply kissed” phrase. I’m certain this is the first time anything I’ve ever written made anyone think of Cinderella, though.
Thanks for the comments, everyone.
