A Winter Haiku

Snow is just a mask 
Regenerating earths face.
A special peeling.

What great juxtaposition, peeling off earth's mask. Harder when it has turned to ice. Congratulations, Brenda, I enjoyed your haiku.

I like what Andrea said about your poem. And agree! Wow, it is very creative. I love it. You are so talented. That's the best Haiku I've ever read. Yes, a 7 and sav for me, too. May God's healing and love surround you, Brenda.
