1. This is profound. With the winter we’re having here they say the number of homeless is exceedingly high. Because of the dangers in the shelters they rather be on the streets.

2. The poem was well-written and the photo enhanced it perfectly.

4. Precious haiku – the first one is just an absolute moment of brilliance. It really is sheer brilliance, the sort of haiku you can imagine people years later using in study.

5. One coin, some snowflakes, a shining haiku…

6. Reminds me of the Red Kettles during the holidays.

7. This one has been nicely penned..thought-provoking..
