February Challenge

Ok, I am a very new writer of haiku, dare I say haiku poet, and so maybe it is presumptuous of me, but I'm joining the February challenge from NaHaiWriMo to write a new haiku each day of the month.  So here is my first one.  I even posted it on the NaHaiWriMo Facebook page, which was very scary for me.  Enjoy!
