Fifth Place Ties: Always by Srmk Anderson and Haven by Jana Heart

Always

Beautiful when Cold
In city of warm hearts then
Mosquito now Orange

Haven

Gentle giants seek...
crystal sapphire sanctuary
feeling winter's grasp.

Susan's Thoughts

We received so many wonderful haikus in this round of Words and Wonders, I could not resist sharing two! One plays with the “new” name of our county and the other celebrates our beloved winter visitors, the manatees.
