Mike,

this is so very well written, excellent choice of your major wording which you have also used so very well. Great matching of your words with the picture. Excellent.

Very clever haiku. The image you presented evoked the emptiness of winter via the vacant seat, but all around was the promise of color. Very good.

Very very nicely done. I liked the symbolism of the bench and how it related to your haiku. Very sweet and moving. Thank you for letting me read it.

I like this haiku because it expressed the solitiude of the winter, but at the same time the hope of waiting for the coming spring. The solitary bench is a powerful image.

Hi Mike,
Your poem and the art are a perfect combination. For me the art is very comforting and serene and your poem is filled with delightful anticipation of what a new season will bring. Thank you for sharing this entry and God bless and best wishes!

Hello Mike.
This one was a joy to read. I've been reading such wonderful Haiku poems. You put so much in a few words. You chose your words well and created a word picture.

Hello Mike! I'm a novice haiku writer and I feel I don't know the technique enough to comment on haiku to be of any help, but I do like your poem. The picture and the words do convey the solitude of sabi, and you leave us with hope that it won't last forever.

    Personally, the more inclimate the winter the better. I guess because of much of winter is gray. It should bring people closer together, but most people jsut seem to huddle in their own worlds. Thank you very much for the compliments and this review. Mike K2
