tangles in the everlasting
winter

"We're all out there, somewhere, waiting to happen."
Haven’t heard this song in ages …. ah …The Bangles! 😀
A great response!!!! Placing “winter” alone, at the end … the emphasis is very powerful .
Some great lines in this song – I almost went with the S & G version, but… this does rock 🙂
One of those haiku lines where ‘less is more’, perhaps – though it’s often tricky to walk away from those unused syllables… 😛
Thanks, Jen!
Too bad we can’t stockpile those unused syllables for future haiku, eh? 😀
Very welcome 🙂
