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.

Comment from Joy Graham
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

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

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 :)
