I had to read this a few times. Very powerful, especially the last line. This doesn't need anything else, there is a lot of debt in your three lines.

"Souls" and "suffers" should be swapped. It will fit in the point brought out in the poem. Do souls suffer? Even poor may have the heart to enjoy the beauty. the poem must define what it is aiming at.

Truly well done haiku. I like your contrasts and impressions compressed into such a small amoung of syllables. Keep it up.

Great job in these three lines. Complimented by a picture, this work creates a powerful image of winter... I even feel the chill when I read these words. You have managed to capture this season exceptionally well in just three lines.

Snow chills, bites night souls
Cheers, feels bright sight in daylight
Rich joys, poor suffers!

I really cant see what it is you are contrasting, this is very confusing and lacks somethin, seems incomplete.

Certainly give the old grey cells a bit of a workout! I wasn't aware of the three phases of the traditional Haiku so thanks for the lesson. This fits well and achieves great imagery within the strict confines of this style.

Nicely done! A wonderful little Haiku-my appreciation for this form is growing with each one I read as I find they are rich with metaphors and meaning, while using a few purposeful words. Thanks so much for sharing:)

Haiku. Gotta love em! I liked your haiku a lot, maybe because I love winter itself, maybe because I adore haikus. I don't know. Regardless, I see nothing wrong with your poem and I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for sharing.
