This is excellent. The image of the howling wolf is powerful. A well written haiku with great word choices that connect the three lines together. Best of luck in the contest. Marilyn

Thank you for taking the time to review Marilyn. Ahh, I know I have been very lax. It has been school holidays so have been away and 'hanging' with my kids. No time for me. Good to hear from you :-) ~DD

force of winter holds
spirit of severity
misty breath escapes~
excellent entry to the contest as it can be taken different ways as to the force of the winter itself or the happenings of the season. Very nicely done

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
This is what I hate about winter, it's severity, the harsh cold chill in the air and that visible hot breath in the mornings, your haiku is descriptive and chilling, love Dolly x

This is a wonderful Haiku with all the elements of the nature of winter coming together under the perfect picture. Best of luck with this entry! I like how at the end it looks almost like your poem is letting a Misty breath escape.

Comment from Gail Denham
And soon we're be there - with snow piling up - we're hoping for a brief respite so we can travel for a week down to warmer climes. Your poem certainly describes the winter around here. Good job.

Comment from Pantygynt
This is a neat haiku. Tight and to the point. It would appear to meet all the requirements of the form and I see no reason why it should not do well in the contest for which it is entered.

Comment from Janice Canerdy
You have made excellent use of all of your syllables in this vividly descriptive haiku. I like the fact that the poem can stand alone--but that the picture gives it another dimension of meaning.

Comment from CrystieCookie999
Concise choice of words! That second line is intriguing with s alliteration. Unusual wolf illustration. Not sure what to improve on, but breath escapes is larger font for some reason.

Thank you Crystie for taking the time to review my haiku. I am not seeing any difference in font size my end so cannot correct. I appreciate your comments though. ~DD

I noticed something in the last thing I posted when I used italics, that the italicized words showed up larger. There must be tiny glitches that do stuff like that.
Comment from lyenochka
You always choose your words so well! I like the alliteration and the clear contrast of the tight-fisted powerful cold of winter with the breath of life that still can escape showing us that life is still stronger.
