Gypsy,
Do like the idea of this poem. A Zen haiku it is! Coloring and artwork are paired nicely with your words. Your last line has a lot of weight to its meaning.

Comment from barbara.wilkey
I see a couple of metaphors with this poem. Metaphor of the weight from getting older and the metaphor of the weight of a society out of touch. Thank you for, again, sharing your talent. I am blessed to have read.

I like this haiku that speaks to the beauty of nature and its forces, as well as the political condition of the world today. Your picture is perfect for your poem.

Comment from RJ Heritage
I liked your Zen Haiku very much. It is very descriptive., but not suggestive, which I admire about many Haikus.
Well done.
Have a wonderful night.

Comment from juliaSjames
Poignant write, Gypsy
It encourages one to read and re read until the meaning ( or a meaning ) sinks in
I see it as the subtlest of metaphors. The grass is weighted down with snow just as we bend in life as our hair whitens with age. The weight if the world can be the force of gravity or the worries of life, or both.
Yet there is resilience in this poem. We go on like the grass, bending but not broken
Thank you for sharing your creativity and skill.
Blessings, Julia

Comment from LateBloomer
Hi Gypsy, your poem has good imagery and sensory appeal. I could see the whole scene. Of special note:
'neath the weight of the world
(Good Satori line)
Perfect photo choice. Well done. Xo. M

A brilliant haiku! The "weight of the world" is not only visible on the snow covered grasses but also on the mind if the poet and readers feeling the difficulties of life.
