I prefer to read poetry aloud. This poem was very fun to read because of all of the alliteration.The alliteration becomes onomatopoetic. The s's effect the sounds of the wind going across some of the single leaves left on the bare branches. This is a strong sensory poem. Well written.

Hi Zanya, absolutely. It is a classic haiku and I loved it. It is very well written and the imagery is outstanding. I especially liked the satori line. Good luck in the contest. Ulla:)))

Hello, Zanya,

Great entry for my classic haiku contest. Good syllable count and connection between lines. You fulfilled the contest's rules. It has lovely imagery of the winter scene. Good luck!

A very chilly write. Creates a bleak atmosphere of winter outdoors.

To avoid too many apostrophes suggest you switch
"forest's leafless trees",to
"leafless forest trees"

For the satori, perhaps something more operatic to correspond with "echo", for example

"winter's aria"

Good luck

Stay safe and blessed

Julia

Excellent verse, Zanya! You did a perfect job in crafting a classic Haiku. Love your satori!! I would mention that forests is possessive... needs an apostrophe. Hugs!!

I like this Haiku very much.
The winds can be frightening for some; for others it is a cheerful serenade. I like the image I see and the sound I hear when reading this poem.
Excellent work.
Good luck in the contest,
Cindy

The leafless trees do create a venue where the wind would howl and your presentation of this awesome picture with your well-chosen words is a stellar example of that premise.

This is a very descriptive haiku. It is that time of year. I heard those howling winds last night. This is good entry for the Classic Haiku contest. I like the picture but I dread the cold. Good luck.
