Like A Warm Hug...
~~Entry #3 For 'The Small Heat' Challenge~~
Fetched fresh from the dryer...
Like a warm hug from momma...
My blankie soothes me...
Author's Note: My haiku reminded me of Linus Van Pelt from The Peanuts Gang!
Here is a classic compilation clip ️featuring Linus! Enjoy! 😁

Killing him slowly
There’s an intruder in my house again. He stumbles through the door, wet carrier bags in hand. He’s bought me offerings. I show my appreciation, letting him caress my beautiful body. He wants to touch me. I rub myself against his legs. He sighs, dropping the bags. He can’t resist touching me. Running his hand slowly down my spine, I arch my back towards his caress, let out a low purr. It’s what we both need.

HUGS AND HAPPINESS. CHEERS!
I loved how simple yet powerful this is. Just a few words, but I could imagine being wrapped up and safe, just like Linus with his blankie. Heartwarming.
💖Ooo I love this already! The Assonance in your first line is soft like the blanket this little one might hold. It gives the opening such a gentle, pillowy feel.
Ooooooh! Now DAT kinda heat! Great concept, Tiffany!
Ah, those were the days, classic blankie warmth and comfort. We should never outgrow the blankie stage. Warms the heart indeed, Tiff.
awww, so sweet! you warmed me up, that’s for sure
Well-wrought! Linus' "security blanket" must have needed regularly washing from all the Snoopy-drool!
This is so cute! Great work :-)
Awww such a warm and cuddly haiku

I’m Aussie- we don’t have driers! Hah ☀️ no we do, but I don’t. 😂 Haiku flows very well.
This is so sweet and cozy! There is nothing better than the feeling of a warm blanket straight from the dryer.
Nothing better on a chilly day. Fresh from the dryer is the best. Hope Christmas was/is still going wonderful.
This is so creative. Love it 😀
So cute! Thank for introducing me to Linus and great haiku, Tiffany!
