Aha those are the best brooms!

Oh, I especially like the 2nd one! And the scripture came to mind about “a three-fold cord”.

intriguing haiku – and the more I read them, the more I read into them…
Thanks, Freya. 🙂 Your comment makes me proud. 🙂
Quite clever, Celestine. I love riddles, even if I’m not always able to solve them.
Thank you Nadine. When growing up we used to play riddles a lot. 🙂 It was a favourite past time for kids in those days. Now, computer games have taken all that away. 🙂
I’d like to sweep winter away & it hasn’t even arrived yet! LOL 😉
LOL! I can well imagine. 🙂 I’m not looking forward to the harsh Harmattan here at all.
