Comment from rspoet
Hello DD,
Another excellent and original haiku from your pen
with solid imagery and connection
and a clever satori line
Those look like more than just winds
perhaps gale force storms
Excellent photograph to match
Well done
Good luck in the contest
Robert

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Good choice of image.
-A well written haiku, DD,
with effective imagery of the
tree and alliteration for emphasis.
-The satori line is very good,
and has good use of
the double meaning of "snap."
-Good luck in the contest.

Comment from bob cullen
Please tell me I'm not the only one to see this picture as a duck with its head down grazing on grass. The tree trunk forms the head while the windswept branches are shaped like the duck's body. The single branch almost touching the hill is the duck's leg.
Loved the image your poem presented

Bob, thank you for taking the time to review and, to ease your mind, there were no ducks involved while writing this haiku. ~DD
Comment from lyenochka
Super haiku, DD! I like how you set the scene windy day which stresses an old tree's "brittle limbs." Then you give us that double meaning in the last line of a quick decision which might have "snapped" a limb. It's also perhaps a word of wisdom to let go when faced with overwhelming circumstances.

Welcome!
Comment from June Sargent
Sometimes this is how I feel! The old brittle limbs groan and creak, And I just pray I don't hear that snap! But it's not always up to us. We just hope for the best as the cold winds blow. Great example of a haiku.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written haiku about the tree that bows in the wind. The wind is in some places strong and blows often enough to start growing in the direction that the wind blows most of the time.
