Melissa,
This seems to be an ekphrastic poem about the picture. Whoever this is seems very comfortable. Those look like Christmas socks. So maybe this person is thinking that the season is near so it is time to start thinking about it.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Joan

The reader is left with a warm feeling as they can image holding a cup in their hands. "Cozy pleasures" make me want to curl up in a fuzzy blanket and watch the ire burn in the fireplace.

A very well-written haiku and a very cozy picture of a warm drink in front of a fire place in winter where we can enjoy great times with our family members during the winter cold.

Readers who live in the northern or eastern parts of the US. will identify. Some like myself probably have begun heating their cider. I will be getting another quart the next time I go to my fruit & veggie market. I like to sprinkle a little cinnamon in mine and have a few butter cookies with it. Cheese & crackers are good too. This was a yummy poem.

This is a ery cozy feeling entry for the 'Haiku' contest. The picture makes me want to sit by a fire. Your writing is well matched to the photo. I wish you the best in the contest.

How appealing that looks and sounds. Please invite me over! Your poem is a lovely glimpse of an enjoyable Autumn evening activity. Nice photo - I love the knitted mug warmer.

Hello, anonymous,

Great entry for the Haiku Poem writing prompt contest. Nice presentation. Good syllable count and connection between lines. I like the imagery of sitting by the fire on a cold night. Good luck!

This is a very appealing way to look at winter...where do I sign up?
The picture is a perfect accompaniment for your words.
The hot vs. chilly dichotomy is a nice touch.
Strong entry in the haiku contest. Good luck.

The Speaker here is absolutely right. There is nothing more delightful than a cup of hot cider on a chilly autumn evening. Good use of C-words in every line. I do not, however, think the apostrophe is necessary in "ev'nings."
