rain at the window
your breath carried to me

This gathered a grand total of 2 points in the latest kukai, aurora. I've changed the first line (improved it, I believe); "blizzard" was the required kigo in the kukai.

"rain" and "breath" mesh better together than "blizzard". You should submit the revised version somewhere.

aurora, floots, pat, and polona, thanks. I never got the "blizzard" line right, in the original.
