I like your haiku. I do not write them myself, but I appreciate the beauty and the simiplicity. They are a truly elegant artform. It is fitting for me to read it now. The snows have finally receded and the buds are coming out on the trees.

A good 5-7-5 poem
that is definitely seasonal.
However, a contrasting idea follows two continuous lines of the one winter image.
Even so, I did enjoy this poem.

Oh!! YES... winter's snow covers spring's promise.
A lovely haiku that sends a smile into my heart.

beginner
Hello there!
Good to see another beginner entering this contest. It's also good to see that you are going by the old-fashioned early 20th century method of writing haiku where the important things are the syllable count and the references to nature.
Your images are a little cliched, but I guess that's because you are (like me) a beginner. That winter blanket must surely be wearing thin by now (LOL)!
All the best in the contest.
Have a gr8 day,
BJ.
