After the Storm
After the storm of winter snow there sat a small bear by the name Ted, of course. He loves the snow and likes to roll around in it making all sorts of trails and whatever he has a mind to do. He wondered where all the people are, but in a way, he is hoping that they are all snug in the homes maybe drinking hot chocolate-one of his favorite drinks with mini-marshmallows and eating something homemade for he likes this winter wonderland all to himself to romp and play and maybe even catch some fish down by the river.

Congratulations!
Congratulations! Not a fan of whiskey, but great haiku! :D
I love this, sir. I'm just finding your art tonight for the first time. Your name amuses me too. I might have to listen to Dark Side of The Moon as I experience more of your stories (better instrumentals to read by, IMO, than The Wall.) My name is Bill. I've subscribed to you. It's a pleasure. ⚡️💙⚡️
sad I missed this but glad that it ended up atop the podium so I could revisit it. great win!
Congratulations on your win! 🎉 I wish I read it sooner. Great haiku.
Well said, deeply felt. Congratulations on the win.
Wooohooooo congratulations on your win! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
Congratulations! It’s 10 in the morning here (and summer), and despite that, I now feel like a whiskey.
'Kindles behind the ribs' is such the perfect line for this! Super congrats, Pixel! 🤩
Ooh, I love this, Pixel, and I love whiskey, too! Congratulations on your win❣
congrats - don't just stop at one!
Delicious; Congrats!
Fuck yeah. Make mine bourbon (Basil Hayden Toast, preferably). Congrats on your win.
Striking, clever work - congratulations on the win!
The false warmth of alcohol. nicely done.
This warms my black heart, sweet Pixel.
