Your haiku is descriptive and lovely. When we are shivering and hovering inside, we must remember that nature is preparing the earth to produce those lovely spring elements we're waiting eagerly for.

I love haiku and this is no exception. It's a beautiful presentation of your touching write. You create a lovely word picture with your phraseology, even without your stunning art work. Good luck in the contest.

What a fascinating picture and so parallel to your 5-7-5 haiku! Your "splendor in repose" is such an appealing description and I enjoyed your use of alliteration. Best wishes in the contest- Joan

Oh yes indeed, winter is quite definitely a time of nature's repose, there was an instruction, of leaving the fields fallow, to regain and reproduce the the goodies of fertility, now we fertilise them to dream, winter enforces that "rest", E.G. the sabbath, well done, an excellent entry. Blessings, Roy

Very beautiful Haiku! It fits perfectly in the parameters of the contest. Snow disappears and spring returns. A natural progression that you described perfectly.

This haiku poetry contest entry is well set within its counting syllables structural format. Its beautiful natural description is well explained throughout its narrative storyline content. Well done.Greetings for the contest.

How beautiful, both the picture and your words. I am trying to learn more about writing haiku and I think what I lack most is the ability to allow the reader to feel the few words that compose the brief poem . God luck in the contest.

    Thank you for your wonderful review. I learn haiku, senruy, etc from a master instructor, Alvin Elington, a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, he is no longer with us...
