Hello...what a great Haiku...this was very descriptive and you capture the feeling of winter so well with your careful word choices...

The publishing with this was good too...the photo setting exactly the right mood for the work...a definite recommend to other readers for review, cheers rivki

Nice haiku, Al. The problem with these is being able to write a review long enough to satisfy FanStory's system. Pardon me for quoting the poem back to you:

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

Very nicely done. I have not been able to write haikus myself. That is a challenge still and so far one I haven't conquered. You did a fine job.

This reminds me of two worlds due to only two living experiences remaining. The rich and the poor...and never the twain will meet. The middle is almost extinct. Then soon, very soon, the haves and the have nots will cancel each other out.
The playing field will be leveled and diferences won't exist, along with everything else.

These few words spoke volumes.

The structure is correct. No snow in Africa, but I imagine it must be cold, and beautiful. Nice haiku.

Well done
Cheers

Very nice Haiku. I can appreciate how you compressed so many visuals and meaning into a few words. I am also impressed with the many interpretations I've read in the comments, particularly Rhymer 1 and Raluca Enescu who gave marvelous takes on your work. The picture goes hand-in-hand with the verse. Great pairing of the fine arts and poetry. Great work all around.
Regards,

The visuals for me are formidable. A homeless man in New York huddled in an alley with newspaper for a blanket and my brother-in-law cross country skiing. Well done. Cheers, rhymer1

I really don't get the meaning of these things, shouldn't a poem make it self clear, self explanatory, i would love to know because i fail to see the clarity in it.

A good poem. You have put a lot into just a few words. The picture goes
along quite well with your words and meaning. I know its hard to only use a few words..but you did do this one very well.

Alcreator Writer, another fine Haiku from you. I swear I don't know how you so effortlessly come up with these, you'll have to (if you will) help me out with the form sometime, you write them so well. I just blow it every time. Thanks for sharing this great image with us.

Yours,

Jenny
