Branches become wind chimes after an ice storm.5 total reviews
Comment from Father Flaps
Hi Mystery Author,
I can hear those tinkles "after the ice storm". You don't even need the picture. Your 5-7-5 is a true haiku IMHO.
You have my vote, but I'm going to offer one suggestion for some alliteration.
After the ice storm
December winds tinkle tunes
On wind chime branches
Good Luck in the contest!
Cheers,
Kimbob

This is excellent! Beautiful metaphor and perfect description of a lovely winter, making the best out of a chilly day. I typically despise the cold but this poem gave me a new appreciation. Best of luck in the contest, I think this could win it!

Great job on the poem. I always find the shortest ones the hardest. You were able to convey a complete story with it. Thanks for sharing your writing and good luck in the contest.
