   The haiku really made me think… made me think about getting through winter… bring me a dragon and we’ll get through

   Marvelous picture and just a terrific extended metaphor! (Of course, somewhere in my mind I am hearing something about being crunchy and good with ketchup…hmmm.) Love your writing, Frank!

   When is a dragon not (necessarily) a dragon? When he or she is in a poem. Great write that I suspect bears more than it bares.

    ‘the only way out is through’ I like that. Do you know the children’s story ‘We’re going on a bear hunt” ? Reminds me of that.

    Reminded me of an old Girl Scout lyric … “Can’t get over it, can’t get around it, have to go through it” stomp, stomp, stomp! Hadn’t thought of that for years.

    Bouncing back seems to me a metaphor for successful living. Nice play with the prompt, Frank.

    I am following, but since I didn’t receive the prompt–I found it through Toni (Kanzen) I guess I didn’t jump in on the original page. Next time!

    I love that you were unrestrained enough to make that one line really long; that’s always so effective to me. Also, I love the last three lines. So true. (It’s supposed to snow tonight, which is crazy unheard of here in Alabama.)
