Quote

morning ornaments
spider web with
sparkling silver beads

***OK, so I plagiarized this from myself. I just posted a response to the 10 Word Christmas challenge (http://poetry-here-and-now.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=challenge&action=display&thread=1506&page=1 Reply #11) and these are essentially its first lines, haiku-ized.

I thought when I read the first line that you had tried a three into one on that challenge...it came really close I think. Still this is a lovely snapshot I must say, even for me who hates spiders.

You capture the perfection so prettily with your last line, "sparkling silver beads"
	Our footfalls in the sleeting snow, just white tracks on nothingness. Our history on the beach erased by the very next wave. Do not look back. There is nothing behind you.
