Haiku - Winter Wonders

Frozen breath, red cheeks
Numb fingers in soaked-through mitts
“Hot chocolate time?”

This haiku is part of One Deep Breath, and online poetry collaboration blog. The post for the week is "Winter Wonders". Really gave me an instant mental picture of my little ones coming in from the cold after whatever outdoor adventures were done being found.
