Oh, you can be sure I understand the meaning of this rich-poor contrast! I feel it as I feel the alliteration of the 's' sound - the hissing of a snake - that goes on from the first line, stopping for a while and then coming back in the last word. It takes you by the throat just as poverty does!
Now, what about this:
"Rich writes, poor reviews"?
As a new fanstorian I don't know whom to ask if I can use my member dollars for releasing my poetry. Because I don't have a credit card!

Whaddaya mean snow bites souls? I love snow! I like to walk in it while it collects on my safety glasses. And I never pay for my own beer. I was born in the Sunshine state. Maybe that's why I love snow. I don't have much money. But I am richer than the rich, not poor at all. See the contrast?

This Haiku is traditional.
This has 5-7-5 syllable counts.
The poet clearly makes a distinction of passing or enjoying the season.
The poet shows how the rich enjoys both nights and days.
The poor cannot enjoy either and suffer.
This is a nice work with clear message.

As I have just written in someone else's 'Haiku', don't understand the form, but in yours at least I understood the message, which is more than I can say for some. Seems you have done it right from what I've learnt, Haiku wise.

This Haiku is perfect and very comprehensive with a very common contrast as to how winter is enjoyed by the rich and how the poor suffer many ways. It covers huge matter in a very short space. Excellent work indeed, it is so enjoying and pleasing to read.

Hi Al,
Hmmm.
Line 1 evokes the classic winter feeling; biting cold that chills you clear to the definition of who you are.
Line 2: a bright winter day, sun unimpeded by clouds, light rebounding and multiplying off everything white or icy. Strong comparison to Line 1.
Line 3? - requires prior point of view to leap in and claim this turf for a sense of social conscience, - huh?.
OK, you believe what you wrote with full force, but that's my own reaction. "Rich wins, poor suffers" is from some other topical universe. Do you want the suffering to be winter? - then where did summer come in (Rich wins)? Not ready to buy this, my friend; two lines superlative, one that just falls flat.
Regards, Gil.

I think you have caught the essence of winter from the freezing nights to the incredibly bright snowblind days. At the same time you have shown that the haves do not suffer as much as the have nots. Very good.
