Gypsy,

Another was to look at your poem is switching it around:

through thick and thin
branches and twigs
endure winter

Do like your accompanying artwork for this presentation.

What a superior haiku, Gypsy. It told of the hardship of the branch and the twig, of the winter that often wears the bearer down. This was special, this bears the stress of winter. Blessed Be n Hugs!!!

I am positive the branch and the twig worked together to help each other survive the winter. I can't imagine any different. Much like we should work together to help each other. Thank you for sharing this wonderful poem with us.

This was a beautiful poem. Made me think about how we see seasons. We see a tree as dead during winter. No leaves, no buds, just skeletal branches. But it's resting, waiting to bloom with warmer weather. Hibernating. This was beautifully written. Gretchen

I like our word play of "thick and thin" as the branch is thick and the twig is thin and both endure the hardships (thick and thin) of winter and help each other survive.

Hi Gypsy, I like your poem. Of special note:

through thick and thin
(It's the yin and yang of Winter)

Great photo choice. A pleasure to read. This poem made me smile.

    I have worked hard for years to promote haiku in this site. I taught here for a while and I manage a haiku club. Of course it's not all because of me.

    Thank you very much for your excellent review and kind words.

Beautifully penned and illustrated modern haiku poem, Gypsy. You've given me a lesson on modern haiku poetry too. A powerful satori of the branch and twig's plight.

Sending you my best today as always.
Sally
