Paul: This is a lovely haiku with a genuine surreal feel to it. I have had a look at the Ambrosia web page. In particular, I like the snowman haiku. I wrote something similar a while ago, and it was used as the hokku to a renku called “Sudden Thaw”.
sudden thaw... and the snowman's eyes turn back to stones
I enjoyed all your haiku in Ambrosia particulary the early blossoms haiku.
My favourite is the one you posted on this blog.
Frank's hokku is wonderful too, a series on snowman haiku, or at least a section in a Christmas special, seems a possibility, with poems of this quality.
