Brilliant collection of poems. I love Haiku and have experimented in it some but have never reached this level of atmosphere and emotion you managed to evoke here. This captured winter, the harshness and fragility, the beauty and wonder. Great stuff.

thank you so much, kerr! winter is far from my favorite season but it’s a great time for self reflection and inner growth. I’ve always appreciated the stillness and melancholic tone that the winter months bring. thank you again for your kind words!

To be fair I did almost burst in here with a “Screw winter and the horse it rode in on!” but that wouldn't have been fair…

“cold shimmering moon

paper painted hills

sickly sleeping woods” I want to go there! Seriously enjoyed the atmosphere of this.
