You really conjure up the scene and the emotions in this 4-6-5 Horror Haiku. I admired your use of alliteration and parallel picture to intensify the mood. More sighs- Joan

This work has reached the exceptional level

I am not great with the Haiku form though I do try, in this one I found that the words give an image of a lost love and the coldness of stepping over (memories) by herself, an excellent short poem (to me) and very worthy of your dedication to Dean, very well presented****kahpot

Interesting writing. Which word are you saying is the caesura and why? Who is referred to by "his?"
That's great that you could co-author some books with Dean. How did you handle publishing?

    Thank you very much for the review. The caesura is a long dash in my haiku. The satori is his step less snowed path....the path to the castle he walked when he was alive. He is dead and the path is snowed over....no one uses it anymore. She is cold and alone without her lover. I handled it he publishing through Amazon site...

I remember the horror haiku writing accompanied by the manic love of horror in company with Dean Kuch, but you still do incredibly well on your own Gypsy, well done girl, blessings Roy

I think this is more of a Senryu than a Haiku, but I'm no expert. Anyway, I enjoyed reading it and the picture is a great addition. Best wishes for your ongoing creative writing.

    English haiku is different than classic haiku. I added the definition by the American haiku association in my author notes. In any case, haiku has 17 syllables or less in a short long short format. A reference to season...snow is winter. And a satori...the last line is supposed to make you think if the relation of the top two lines and the last line.

    Thank you very much for the review.

Okay so, I love her hair! ;)
But, the words... burrr! Cold and to be the first steps on a pathway in the dark -- that really is kindof a creepy feeling with the breeze blowing by.... :) Great 'chill' you've got here, Gypsy! ;) Thanx for sharing! ;) Yvette
