Haiku - One Deep Breath - Frost

Frost bites hard
with teeth of jagged glass
in winters chill.

The prompt for this week is 'frost'. Seeing as we are in the middle of a seering hot summer here, its hard to stretch the imagination that far, and imagine a frosty day, which we don't even have in winter over here.
But my years of livingin the UK have served me well and I remember things like chillblains, antifreeze in the car, and other frost related memories! So with that in mind, here's my effort.

Ouch! Frost is strangely objective, I think--and I think that's why the bit is so hard! Nice poem.

Don't know how I missed this last week but I'm glad to see it now! That gorgeous photo looks like the scene from my window. jagged glass - describes the cold perfectly!
