Ev’ning argument.
Sleepless night, anger unchecked.
Early morning frost.

    Sigh. I relate all too well to this one. No matter I recall it’s best not to go to sleep on one’s anger … Ah, well, frost does warm up readily, doesn’t it?

    Happy New Year!

    Nice twist on frost … the frosty emotions of an argument can be a sharp chill to the soul. Peace & happy new year wishes, JP/deb

    I really like the different take on frost. I have experienced this kind of frost myself and it is not nearly as interesting as the weather type of frost. ha ha

    Great little haiku. Frost is frost no matter what kind. I am just learning to write Haiku so I am glad to read poets who seem to make it easy.

    love-bd

    I can relate. I’d respond to what a prompt evoked than to try to create what I think is expected.
