A really lovely Haiku piece which does indeed have that "aha" moment in line 3.

Good choice of picture to match a very nice effort. Well done.

You did a great job, JM, with your haiku contest entry, I enjoyed reading it. Good job on the style of haiku. I like your satori as it makes readers think of the beauty winter helps prepare the earth for in spring. Thanks for sharing, Best wishes. Jan

This is an excellent haiku, with a splendid haiku line. I've always thought that winter is a resting time, were fallow fields hibernate and rejuvenate in reparation fo the Spring, like Christ, three days in repose to ride again. Well done, blessings, Roy

Nice picture and presentation for this poem and snow falls slowly to blanket the ground covering the flowers maybe they will grow back again.

Oh yes, you have a great aha moment with, "flower bed" and, "sleeping beauties". I love a good aha moment, and you came through :) I can't comment on any of the haiku rules, because I'm still learning them. Best wishes in the contest. I think this is a terrific entry.

That was brilliant, Janet! That had everything, and I loved the final line, sleeping beauties. That was inspirational. I like the photo you chose, it mated well with your lovely haiku. Good luck in the contest! :)) Sandra xx

Beautiful! Your Haiku finds joy in both summer/fall and winter. This inspires the reader to appreciate the cold season that, in different regions, can be harsh and very long.

How lovely. I like the "yesterday's flower bed." I also like the "sleeping beauties." I've always said a haiku needed a noun, a verb, and a time. Of course, it should also be about nature. You have done all of that, and so beautifully. Good job.

    Thank you Jaye for your encouraging review. I greatly appreciate your comments. I think you are right about the noun, verb and a time. And nature or a season is a must.
