Haikus are difficult to write. Not enough words in my opinion. But you've managed to paint a very effective picture here. I particularly like the last line.
Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

Good luck in the contest with this haiku that reminds us of the beauty that awaits us when the snow melts as Winter changes to Spring.

Keep writing

Your haiku form creates a clear picture of nature. "Sleeping beauties" is a wonderful last line that shows how winter eventually leads to beauty. Excellent use of words that creates a winter scene.

A lovely seasonal haiku for a perfect kigu about the snow falling on the flowerbed. It fully captured the difficult requirements of that Japanese format. I felt the artistic flourish within that satori. Well done! Best of luck in the contest.

A very well-written haiku about the snow that cover the flower bed make the flowers to have their beauty sleep until spring comes back again. The first snow of the season is always the best one.

Jm, this is a very well written haiku that meets the requirements for the contest. I am just thankful I do not live anymore where we see snow. Patricia

    Thank you Patricia for your encouraging review. I've moved from northern PA to NC. We get snow here but not much and not for long. That suits me fine. (smile)

I love the simplicity of this haiku. It creates a beautiful picture in such a simple way that is hard to convey. The color and picture choices are very nice, too. Well done.
