So nice to see you on here Gary. This haiku is a meaningful and much needed message. Your latest little book is wonderful as are the rest.

This haiku is superb and deeply meaningful--about so much more than snow.

I counted each syllable and decided this was a beautiful haiku with the last word being so important.
