Comment from Janetsue
This haiku offers a snow theme with a beautiful picture. The middle line of the posting, however, appears forced in order to follow the seven syllable rule. Normally, the line would read: like a bride's veil on her wedding day -- the same can be said of the third line, in that a contraction must be used to meet the syllable requirement. Contractions are not considered to be ideal for haiku just for this reason.

This Haiku speaks about veil of snow white that covers the earth like bride's veil on wedding day and thereby cloaking what is there beneath, a temporary sham in Nature; well said, well done. Liked and enjoyed the read. Keep Writing, Inspiring, Changing
