Hey I just copied those words(salamat din sa yo)from Nikko's comment below. I Don't know the meaning!

Nice imagery here! salamat din sa 'yo :) ha ha--kashinath

apocalytical!! somehow I like the consept of haiku as beauty, prayer, meditation...I do LIKE your verse I am with Chris ckoka LOL or "haiku's evil twin?" LOL Great images strong write, just teasing about the form title me and Chris love to talk! HUGS Light & Love

happy you liked this one, andrea.. thanks for the encouragement! warmest, nette

HI, Nette. YOu painted a dire picture here. Love that line "dead before time erased time." What does this mean modernized haiku. I always thought haiku were only three lines. Anyway, it was an enjoyable read! Luv, Andrea

nilcole , a pleasant remark from you made my day! with much thanks! warmest, nette

naku, katuwa naman ang siulat mo.. thanks again for dropping by and sharing your thought here... more power to you, nikko.. warmest, nette

very vivid piece you have here, Nette :) really enjoyed reading this one--each line sure brings strong images to mind-- and yup definitely happy to see another Pinoy here -- yup sulatan kita pagkatapos ko basahin iba mo pang tula, ok :) salamat din sa 'yo :) --nikko :)

i love this! Great write!

hi chris... thank you for your lovely comment... i'm not poetry guru but let me share what i personally understand. a modern haiku need not follow the usually structured 5-7-5 method though the" haiku" essence is there.. a choka contains a longer form with a somehow similar haku meter... this haiku i did is a double one, so i think.. lol, i'm beginning to sound like a prof who is sounding nutty! just the ame, i wish you the best here on soup! warmest, nette

nice to hear from you, robert... thanks for your generous reply!! all the best warmest, nette

you got my drift carolyn.. i'm more of a free spirited scribber though i kinda get a liking for the metered ones when in the mood ;) ... love your insights on this! see you on your street soon! warmest, nette

You used the "modern haiku" very well, Nette. Too often we feel confined by that three-line 5-7-5 syllable scheme. The image you create of winter is chilling and really outstanding. Love, Carolyn

I am not familiar with this style Haiku but you certainly have succeded in painting a stark and dark picture void of hope and future! Well described..
