the crunch of frost bare branches of the oak alive with stars
—Annette Makino
Issue 18.1 | 1 May 2018
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.
Magical!
See, hear, feel… the elements of this fine verse. Grandsome, Annette. _m
Thank you all so much for your thoughtful comments! It's great to know how a poem resonates with readers.
Beautiful. :)
Lovely ku with an optimistic expression!
