This one is a good Haiku and I loved the satori moment in this one. We do not get the icy freezes like this anymore as we are on the coast however, I've seen this and you have it described spot on! xoxo Kiwi

sparrow hunkers down
on slick glassy grey branch
survivor

I don't care much for enjambment when used in haiku poetry, Anonymous Poet. However, it is just a personal preference of mine.
Had I written this, it would have been written something like your revised haiku above. The 5-6-3 syllable count is still well within haiku limits of seventeen syllables, or less.
But, I didn't write this, you did. It is your poem to do with as you please.
Best of luck.

I like this haiku, especially the word hunkered. I really got a sense of the sparrow in winter struggling to survive. Thanks for sharing this and have a really great day

Tiny is not ignorable, observation and existence is equally important; this is a fine related Nature Haiku writing prompt entry, wish you good luck to the contest. Keep writing. DR ALCREATOR

This is a very well written nature haiku about the little sparrow on the icy branch. You used very good descriptive wording and very good imagery. Best wishes in the contest. Teri

Sparrows are survivors. Your haiku creates a picture of nature and shows the strength of the tiny sparrow. Excellent use of words and I wish you well in the contest.
