wow, this has some great analogy. (I don't agree with Debs on those first two lines being disconnected grammatically. They are grammatical, but I kind of get what she was saying conceptually; however, I do not see eye to eye with all the haiku rules either) I personally think this is one of my personal faves in this contest.

Thank you Andrea. It is Deb's contest so I will write another for her. I will keep this one as I have seen the wind beat the leaves from the trees and cause them to be naked as a newborn bird how beautiful it was to see snow come down and blanket the trees

Hi Carol..loved the professional way you titled this! Also you did not capitalize or punctuate. You have a strong image to work with too! You need to connect lines 1 & 2 gramatically & conceptually, haiku must have only 2 parts print out this page and it will help you loads & SOUP mail for you too http://sites.google.com/site/graceguts/essays/haiku-checklist

You have done a great job at applying the rules of haiku! The subject matter is perfect! Ah, the poor poor newborn birds, they suffer through this storm! But then the storm slows down and now there is a great display of new snowflakes, pleasant thought!! Super poem!!

This is quite a powerful image of a winter storm, Carol. I like the way you lighten it up with your closing line "cascade of snowflakes." Best wishes in Deb's contest with this great haiku! Love, Carolyn
