Haiku(despite icy chill)

Comment from Thomas Blanks
Very nicely done. I find it interesting that what you call a robin and what I know as a robin from growing up in middle America in Missouri are not the same bird. My robins had gray heads and bodies with a red-orange breast extending farther down than the one in your photo.

Interesting info re the robing- thanks for reviewing zanya
Comment from Jim Wile
A very nice comment how, even with the depressing chill of an icy winter, there is still some pleasure to be found through the trilling of a robin. The lonely image of the robin singing perfectly accompanies this haiku. Great job.

Great review zanya
Comment from Jesse James Doty
This is an excellent Haiku as it speaks to the positive uplifting spirit of a bluebird in the cold icy winter. I love the picture and how it shows what you see and say in your poem. This is a wonderful piece and I wish you all the best in the contest.

Comment from Mario PIERRE
Your haiku poem has all the elements that describe a perfect winter day. You chose very strong and meaningful words which add power to the poem, like : chill, bare branches...
Well done

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I really like this Haiku, you've used my favourite bird that sings its songs on bare branches. The Robin to me, is the Christmas bird, and although we keep it all year round, (UK) it's still the bird I look for in December. Well done and good luck in the contest. Happy New Year. :)) Sandra xx

Great review & the robin is just a delight in winter! zanya
Comment from lyenochka
I like the internal rhyme in this poem which I think can be overlooked as it's not an end rhyme. (Heard that haiku doesn't rhyme.) The "trills" naturally leads to "winter's melody." The birds that stay through winter are especially appreciated! Best wishes in the contest!

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Yes we hear those dulcet tones and they still have the ability to sing despite the icy chill. The robin is a brave little bird, I enjoyed your nature Haiku, love Dolly x

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Robyns are such beautiful birds. Wonderful entry for the Haiku (seasonal) writing prompt contest.
Good syllables count and connection between lines.
Excellent satori with a delightful juxtaposition.
I love the imagery and presentation.
Good luck in the contest.
