Winter makes me SAD
Fused light means shorter day,
Mean days and short fuse

  1. Love your use of language. What an ideal theme for this holiday season that's upon us.

    Really relate to SAD. Seriously considering using a light box. Also, darkness makes my fuse shorter.

    You definitely should be published. Great piece of work!

  8. Haha, well done!

    I get SADs too, and find light helps in a huge way. I moved my office around so I'm practically leaning out the window I'm so close to it when I work. Huge difference. Fresh air and as much sunshine as I can get.

    Great use of theme!

  10. If it weren't for blogger, I'd have forgotten all about Haiku. It's been so many years since I learned this form of poetry in school. I wonder if I actually wrote one for a class assignment. Right now, I'm not so sure I could come up with anything blog worthy, but it's fun to see everyone elses! :)
