After the Storm
After the storm of winter snow there sat a small bear by the name Ted, of course. He loves the snow and likes to roll around in it making all sorts of trails and whatever he has a mind to do. He wondered where all the people are, but in a way, he is hoping that they are all snug in the homes maybe drinking hot chocolate-one of his favorite drinks with mini-marshmallows and eating something homemade for he likes this winter wonderland all to himself to romp and play and maybe even catch some fish down by the river.

I felt that too---- I used to tell my children that "Hot"---- This is great Lana, a great entry for the challenge. Nicely Done!!!
Lana, great haiku for the challenge! I remember my brother touching the wood stove of a family member. We didn't have one in our house when he was small.💕💗💕
Oh no! I understand that!
I felt that!
Ha. I see we had similar experiences of not learning from not doing first ha. This great Lana.
Even if grandma told me on time, I still touched... I had some old forgotten memories popping up now 😅 Love these kind of haikus that remind me of things I didn't even know I forgot.
Lol, serves the kid right. Loved this!
Oh no!! Hope it wasn’t too bad!😵💫
