Truthfully, I don't understand this poem. Where we live, you don't get 'artic blasts' in autumn, though perhaps you do?

Secondly, I tried to find a common definition for 'tierra', which most folks will NOT attempt (IMHO) and couldn't find one. Is that you word you meant?

Good luck!

    The original reference was cold- snap but couldn't abide by the rule of two words beginning with the same letter. Artic blast was a stretch...No wonder you were confused I misspelled tiara; thinking of jeweld crown.

:-) interesting play on terra [firma] and tierra ;-)

Do red maples hold their leaves through winter, like southern live oaks do? Do they shed them in spring also?

(nice haiku :-)

    They do not hold their leaves in Wv in the winter. Nor do they shed twice. Thanks for reviewing.

What a pretty picture you paint with you lovely haiku. Your haiku provokes the image of the maple tree. I wish you the best in the contest. Thank you for sharing your work. It is perfect.
