Hi, Indy. I think your bucket list is a wonderful idea, my friend. Your haiku tells it very well. Makes me want to vacation as soon as I can. LOL. Your picture with the roaring fireplace etc is a very good idea indeed. Good job of expressing this, my friend. Bob

Hi, PW,

I enjoyed your haiku. You know your references to snow and isolated mountain cabin had to appeal to me! I was immediately transported to the image you created. Your first two lines are minimalist so that the read can fill in the blanks with his/her own images, thoughts, remembrances, etc. For me, this is what haiku is all about--appealing to the reader's imagination. With that said, the satori did leave me a bit wanting. There's a lot of alliteration there. Four of the nine words begin with 'w.' Just throwing out a thought: our respite within, or just: respite within, or as it is. Just thinking out loud.

Again, you won me over with the wonderful image which allowed me to transport myself to another place and time.

A great addition to the book.

Ray

Usually people don't want to be caught in a snowstorm. Maybe the speaker sees in as an forced escape. Some chance a peace and quiet. A times we all need it.

Keep writing

Joan

I like it without a picture and I am going back to writing (at least haiku) without pictures.

Very clear and vivid imagery. What a peaceful place it would be:)

Really? Brrrr --- the words to your haiku paint a vivid picture of a cosy cabin in a lovely winter scene.

Well penned, Karyn.

There are those who say that pictures are out of order with these, although the club does not adopt this rule. Here the imagery is so suggestive no picture is needed. Your words and the reader's mind create the picture and that is surely how it should be.

    Thank you, Pantygynt, for your very kind review for my winter haiku. I appreciate your kind response, and thank you for mentioning a photo wasn't needed. I'd much prefer to post haiku without photos, but so many FS members expect artwork and comment negatively when there isn't one. I'm delighted you enjoyed the poem.

I love the words to your poem
You had my imagination going wild
To be stuck in a cabin with the one you love. Feeling the warmth of a nice fireplace ... Now that something to think about.
Thank you for sharing.

Oh, this really IS easy to picture, and so is the mood easy to imagine. A crackling fire, a cozy cuddle with wine glass waiting...yum. Haiku doesn't get much better, though I have to say, I could do without the blizzard (from my experiences - lol).

    No, no blizzards! (LOL) The cold and snow is enough to keep me in these days. *grin* You're very welcome. It was my pleasure.

It's nice every now and again to go off the grid, take those roads less traveled, and just get away from everyone and everything for awhile. We can't do it often (well, most of us can't, anyway), but when we can, the silence and serenity is bliss.
Good haiku...
