    Short and sharp! Even when the match goes out, the warmth remembers you. Winter never fully wins. ✨

    If the Little Match Girl would write a haiku, I imagine it would be this one. Excellent, Rowan!

    Your haiku reminds me of “To Build a Fire.” Here you cleverly condense that masterpiece into three lines showing how nature strikes with indifference. Well done

    Nicely done! Always good to know there is one left.
