This is an excellent traditional 5-7-5 haiku
with very good imagery and grammatical connection.
The satori lines works very nicely.
The robins don't stay around in winter where we live,
but lots of birds do.
Well done.
Good luck in the contest.
Best wishes.
Robert

A bird trill in winter is rarely heard, which makes your poem unique. To see a robin in winter, gives me a feeling of the coming of spring. Your poem gave me that same warm feeling. Good luck in the contest.

This is a very beautiful seasonal haiku you have penned. You used great descriptive words and very lovely imagery from the art work you chose to go with your words. I love the little bird's mouth open in the picture. Best wishes in the contest. Teri

Beautiful contrast between the starkness of the winter scene and the sight and sound of the robin. I like the "chill" and "trills" pairing too, also the alliteration. An excellent entry. Best wishes for the contest.

Really nicely done! I like the hint of internal rhyme. I think this is structured so poetically and authentically with each line offering a small complete morsel and then the satisfying final line that complete's the poem. A lovely wintery 5-7-5.
