(I've joined Facebook, and folks are hugging there, me!)
Two enemies
hugging each other --
a Warm Season
powerful... makes me wonder who the persons hugging each other are...
i know which i would prefer :)
A hug is good, and it is even better on a cold starry night. Well captured, Bill.
Cozy.
tikkis, polona, ri?ardas, and vaughn, here's a hug.
I see the stars hugging with fiery arms.
sounds good to me :)
cheers bill
I like your reading, Pat. An earlier draft could be read as the stars doing the hugging, but I found that too overt. I softened it to the present form, in the hope that some readers might make the imaginative leap. Thanks.
And thnak you, floots.
How wonderful a cool night can be when the "right" two arms are holding you. I am dreaming that one day the arms I dream of will find me. Thank you Bill, very nice.

I observed this yesterday at recess. The girls were hugging against the cold, the boys' footballs were just thrown farther to each other!
thanks, T and Melanie. Traditionally "each other" implies two, but colloquially it can suggest a larger group, so you can read this as you like it.
Just to round off the thought, traditionally "one another" implies three or more. But, as I say, this distinction is rarely made in conversation.
"tikkis, polona, ri?ardas, and vaughn, here's a hug."
oh...
...i`m too late...
but i like this haiku too!
nice one bill

And here's one just for you, Angelika.
Thank you, John.
Lots of room to think in this one. To fill gaps and make your own story to fit. I like that in writing.
Thanks, jem. That's the kind of effect I was going for.
thank's for sharing info,..!
