Very very strong!
This extremely impressive haiku tells in 16 words more than a lot of thousands of pages books. Opening with the image of "snow chills" and "night souls", of a God-forsaken nowhere , haunted only by our sins, regrets, questions and hopes, quite opposed to the one of "Cheers, feels bright sight in daylight", of a privilleged space, to only which a few fortunate-ones acces, while somehow blinded by the ignorance of their comfort, the haiku tells a painful truth as old as the world: "Rich joys, poor suffers".
It speaks extremely convincingly, in living examples, feelings and sights of injustice; that type of injustice that we are so used to seeing that we've come to ignore. However, although sad and painful, the haiku's message is not a pessimistic or discouraging-one, but remains, quite contrarily, deeply humanitarian. It has that kind of message which motivates people until then unaware of the world they were living in to act, to involve, to aim towards justice and caring.
Outstanding!

Excellent. So much feeling in so little space. Anyone living in a cold climate would recognize your imagery. Anyone living in a warm climate would now understand snow.

I really do wish I had your gift of taking a message and condensing it down to so few lines, while using words to make it a smooth and beautiful read all at once! 'Nuff said!

Haiku is always so short it's hard to give any indepth review. Excellent short verse, nice choice of picture to accompany your idea expressed. Or, perhaps the picture came first. Which ever, they are well matched. Deesire

Good contrast within, without verbosity. Short, cold, yet warming heart.
Image bleak, but brightened with words. This is the winter of our content! Kind regards GeorgeRoberts

well this seems to a poem about the beautiful snow but the poor people suffer and are cold in the beautiful snow, another, snow bites night souls, how do you come up with these phrases.

Goodness you sure do say a lot in this haiku... I don't know how you manage it but you do. The imagery portrays winter wonderfully and the references to the rich and poor were nicely done. Nice work on this!

Finally, I don't have a question about your poem. Nicely done. I couldn't believe how perfectly those words matched that picture. This was my favorite of the bunch!

This was a little over my head but your talent was clearly recognizable. Well done. The middle line was a tad confusing, please explain if you have the time. Other than that, I quite liked it. It was a very effective and inspiring poem. Great piece. Cheers.
