Frozen seedlings don't deter
Mellows mind matters

The Cairn Beside the Lake
And so it came to pass that King Ertharion, Tenth King of Lombaia, stood beside the still lake below unrelenting and unassailable cliffs with the remainder of his harried host.

I appreciate the contrast between physical action and mental stillness. The final line gently shifts the focus inward without breaking the natural imagery.
I love your haiku, Marilyn! Good luck in the challenge.
Lovely haiku.
That sure is positive. Loved your Haiku!
I really liked this haiku. The image of the bird not giving up, even with the frozen ground, is so peaceful.
Nice💚
