Not everyone loves snow, so NOT romanticizing it represents that sector of the population. You make me wonder if we under-represent different points of view in our writing. Thanks for making me think of that with your poem that is unique!

Hello Sanku,
In the light of Author Note, it's a nice piece of poetry in the form of 'Haiku' meeting the desired norms, having lucid as well as perfectly matching the theme phraseology, and transparently depicting its theme.
Picture enhances depth and beauty of the poem.

Sky turned ashen
by Sanku

Beautiful ekphrastic winter haiku. Good syllables count and connection between lines. I would keep complete thoughts on each line. Don't force the 5/7/5.


What I mean....

Sky turned ashen

as earth is shrouded in white~

gloom by the fireside.

    Thank you very much for the suggestions.i have taken off one syllable as per your suggestion
    A reviewer suggested ,'gloomy faces instead of 'gloom' since fireside is cheerful
    What do you think?

    Sky turned ashen
    (Needs connection to the second line) earth shrouded by blinding white~
    gloom by the fireside.

    I suggest....

    sky turned ashen
    as earth is shrouded in white~
    gloomy fireside

I think the cold weather doesn't always bring good tidings, only Christmas in that time is the true hope of things to come, because He guarantees it, this is beautifully written Sanku, thank you, blessings Roy

Perfect description for the picture you have chosen! Artwork is nicely uncommon and invites to serenity and "see time passing by". Haiku is smooth and carries a message of peace of mind. Thanks for sharing!

Don't apologize! This is lovely and elegant--ashen, shroud, gloom are spot-on for the season. Besides, the blinding white provides a perfect counterbalance. Stunning.

    Thank you very much.Some have asked about ,'gloom' since fireside us always cheerful. But if the person is sad or alone?

A nice haiku. The picture fits well with the words. The flow is good. It is interesting how various people define gloom, it is definitely different for different people.

A thought provoking poem. Thanks for sharing.

Oh but a nice warm fireplace can be very romantic. LOL Thank you for sharing your club entry with us. I know many people who don't like winter. I happen to think the huge snowflakes falling down is beautiful.
