Beauty of Winter (Haiku)

by Jenni   Dec 9, 2011


Ocean of fir trees
nictating small ice crystals;
snowscape created.

Challenge from TJ :) Especially since I'm neither good at nature poems nor short poems, so thank you for this challenge. :)

    There is something magical about the seasons and I agree with everyone else the is a beautiful write. I have never heard anyone use trees as an ocean before. That was very interesting to me. But an ocean is very vast so what I thought of first is a vast cospe of trees in a forest of some kind. The scene you paint with just the first line is perfect. Nictating is a great word too and I had to look it up but its so great.

    Nictating small ice crystals: what a beautiful write. Now I can imagine a vast forest of trees trickled with snow and ice hanging from it. The last line is great as well because it wraps up the whole poem and what you wanted to say. Snow is a beautiful and not a lot of people look at it as such. I love the title as well because it says what you want to say. Great. 5
