  1. A sense of warmth is effectively conveyed through the multi-sensory (visual and tactile) juxtaposition of season and touch of this heartfelt haiku whose L3 is layered with multiple meanings.

  2. I love the economy and the warmth. I am transported back 41 years to my beloved grandmother's death at 92. Time deconstructed.
