Kahpot,
This is a really fantastic poem, even more so to me because it's in the thirties outside with a downcast sky.
I would like to give our winters an indefinite pink slip and get more healthily sun.
(I got this idea from your last line!)
Good luck in the contest, Kahpot!
Blessings,
Cindy

I like the picture... It shows spring is coming as the fruits are on your way...

As much as I like four seasons, this winter is too long. It is time to send it away and welcome spring,

Thanks for sharing this poem...

Hello, Kym,

Great job with the entry for the Haiku contest. Good syllables count and connection between lines. I like the satori (last line)... it's clever. Good luck in the contest!

This work has reached the exceptional level

You have made excellent use of unique words and phrases to showcase both nature and the postal system. A clever blend of meanings and inferences. Well done, Kahpot.

You did a great job with your haiku. I like the colored changes of font. Great job with the haiku style. I like the use of the words journals and sender. Your picture is supportive. Thanks for sharing and best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan

NIcely done haiku. Yes we are all waiting for Winter to turn to Spring.
I like the background being the color of a spring sky and that you use greeen and white font colors to portray the fitting season.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Joan

Dear kapot, I am so glad that you now have a mentor, who is helping you learn new forms. You have crafted here a perfect Haku.
All you need to do now is to explain to me, (because I am rather slow) your meaning.
I also needed to ask, why you selected an apple, for your illustration?
P.S. one other thing you need to know is that no word in a kailu, is allowed to be capitalized so remove the capital W from your first word, please.

    Thank you very much, I will try to explain the apple, I was not focused on the apple more so the image of warm returning to cold or visy versy, thanks for the heads up about the capitols very much appreciated****kahpot

You have mastered this form beautifully! I like the imagery of winter being a bully and trying to return spring's beauty to sender. But it won't succeed. Seeds sown will grow and blossom into next year's bounty. Perfect artwork as well.

Kahpot,

Wow! You nailed this haiku! I'm glad someone had a 6th star to offer this
beauty on a Saturday! You have really made a bold presentation for your
masterful haiku. Cute satori and I like how you incorporated 'envelopes'
'brief' 'journals' and then "return to sender" while still making that battle of the seasons really clear.

Super duper!
Anna
(nice of you to mention me:)
