I enjoyed your enchanting use of personification. You captured the mood and the freezing cold of the scene, and your use of alliteration intensified the sensation. Best wishes in the 5-7-5 competition with this splendid post. Cheers- Joan

I think this is a good entry for the '5-7-5 Poetry' writing prompt.
Your short verse tells of icicles in the trees very clearly.
Well done and good luck to you with the competition.
Sharon

This is a dainty little haiku :) I like it. You describe the scene and have a cute aha moment. I like the image of a mother tree and baby branch. Yes, she would cry in the winter if her baby branch was hurt or frozen. Very clever. Best wishes in the contest.

What imaginative personification, Ameenji! Love it. Excellent form, word economy and alliteraiton. Perfect satori. Love the dual-metaphor. Bravo.
Wish I had a six!

Fine presentation too.

Warmly, rd

This speaks the outcome and fruition of drug burden as it spreads and affect all the abusers as mother has to teardrop for her children; well worded, well done. Thank you for sharing this with us. Good luck with the contest. KEEP WRITING, INSPIRE CHANGING. DR ALCREATOR

This work has reached the exceptional level

A perfect example of the simplicity of a Haiku. The 3 lines are enlightening and profound simultaneously while encapsulating the innate wonder of nature.

All the best in the contest

A good entry for this contest. Nice third line. Good luck in the contest. Nice metaphor with the mother tree, here small children (branches) and tears of icicles. Creates a memorable image. Thank you for sharing

Very nice visual for you statement of the Haiku. That is how the ice covers the tree branches. They look so lovely until they melt. Good Luck and Best Wishes in the Contest! Sherman541

The artwork is good for presentation as it does not add any irony or personifications. Exceptional visual imagery created. Creative. Fun. I think it could qualify as a haiku. Fantastic work :)
