Perfect artwork to compliment this lovely haiku. I enjoyed the alliteration with willowy wave. Very nice satori line to finished the poem.

Blessings
Janet

In three short lines you have captured the power and magnificence of nature. Winter waves are turbulent, yet beautiful. I enjoyed the read. Great entry for the contest.

You give us a much broader commentary with your satori ending here in this well written haiku. The climate changes have affected the ocean. Best wishes in the contest!

Don't tell Al Gore about climate turbulence. He'll make a world wide fight against the wind. Like Caligula, he will march an army to the sea and command them to defeat it.

Great balance, great nature image, nice oriental feel, and I think you handled the alliterations really well. Nice job with the 'w' sounds in line one, and the 'r' sounds in line two, and I liked the epiphany moment in line three where the rolling waves get lifted from the image into this sense of a greater force, this 'climate turbulence'. estory

As soon as the word 'climate' is mentioned it will polarise the 2 camps of naysayers and believers that yes, we do indeed have turbulent change coming upon us. The waves tell the story in your succinct and well written poem.

Vivid and crisp. Nice alliteration with the wintry waves. Also a fresh pairing of those words. Is the climate turbulence a reference to global warming, I wonder? Regardless, a fine choice. Cheers. LIZ (I sign off with thanks for boosing me to reviewer level five!)

You have made excellent use of all of your syllables in this descriptive piece. You have smoothly simultaneously described a winter scene while implying a point about climate change.
