  glows more brightly.

Daily writing prompt

Double Rainbow [Haiku]

across the lake,
 two rainbows arch skyward:
  one, a faint echo.

 sit in ornate houseboats,

Frost Spiral [Haiku]

grape tendrils
 encased in crystalline frost.
  blows into cupped palms.

 encased in ice:
  silver storm surprise.

 who reviewed everything from shipyards to sewers.

  and wished he'd written one review fewer.
