Haiku Winner: Jessica!

Ok, there were lots of great haikus last week (among other wonderful writing by Razorites). For example, there were new voices, like this from Jo Anne Beaty:

Hats, scarves, coats, mittens
Wind, rain, snow by the North Sea
St. Andrews, Scotlandjavascript:void(0);

And this from Maddie:

Snow-drifts, shoulder-height;
Ice-hut village on the lake,
Me, child of the north.

And from Rivkelah:

Woke my son up early.
"Can I say a bad word, please?"
"Holy Crap, it snowed!"

Or Anonymous:

Asthmatic oldest
skis in subzero weather
Hello urgent care.

But the most significant haiku was from Jessica:

I was different then
When I wrote, twelve hours ago
Now I am a mom :)

Here's the scoop: Jessica and her groovy hubby Cody just found out that they are going to adopt a child, who will arrive later this month. They are going to be the fun parents at another table in the restaurant who you secretly wish were going to claim you, too...
