has gotten used to deep snow...

    Wonderful haiku by Chen and Amin. Both haiku are activity-biased and the creative transformation (zoka)is well crafted. Yugen is well reflected in Chen's haiku in the bottom section (shimo go)'I miss myself'.The images ( silence and snowflakes)created by Amin is elegant.

    A wonderful trio of poets, Asni, all should be proud of each others company! Thank you again, Don.
