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.
Magical!
See, hear, feel… the elements of this fine verse. Grandsome, Annette. _m
