I love your winter haiku, Gypsy, especially the imagery in the 2nd line, and thought it clever and creative to represent the 1st two lines with one image and the satori line with another. Very eye-appealing.

Just love the title preempting the theme - a moment in the depths of winter captured eloquently and almost tangibly with sound and vision and color - brrr--

It's that turn of the season and the remaining berries should be enjoyed by the birds who have to weather the winter months with reduced food sources. Lovely presentation of the "dewy blueberries" and the crow.

What a beautiful presentation again. The overall atmosphere looks bleak. These look like blueberries, though. Ending with a crow is ingenius.

Well done.

Hola Marival. I loved this winter haiku. It has such a lovely imagery. I'm with you all the way. We are going through an unusually cold spell where I live in Spain. Ulla:)))

    Thank you very much, Ulla, I would love to be in Spain right now, even with the cold winter.

    As you know, the sun is warm, but nights are quite cool. I love my adopted country. Always have, since I was a little girl.

I recognized the style well before I read your author notes. Your poem feels and breathes the Japanese style. I love the imagery and the solitary feel of your work. Well Written, Well Done.

What a contrast between the noise of the crow and the clicket of the elderberries that are disappearing under the cloak of the dew. Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

I have a friend who just bought farm property with the idea of growing elderberries. They are now a highly valued crop by the health food industry. In the past, the bushes used to grow wild and farmers always pulled them out because they were such a nuisance. Times sure have changed! I enjoyed reading this very much. Smiles, Janet
