the crunch of frost
bare branches of the oak
alive with stars

    Lovely! I adore the music in "the crunch of frost." And I love the metaphorical "twinkling" of the frost on the bare branches.

    Oooh–nice! A lovely haiku, with the word "alive" turning an already nice haiku into a reader's gasp of recognition and beauty.

    barren branch
    the lone bird choruses

    autumn solitude–
    hope alights on
    bare branches
