Winter's Grace

Dancing winds do show
All the purities and glow
Beauty is the snow

Author notes

This is a rhyming haiku. Yes, I know, I have gotten many different complaints about my use of capital letter and my use of rhyming in this poem. And that due to these things I have mad some sort of shameful mark across the simple beauty that is a haiku. But personally I like the way this poem took form and I don't see the problem with a rhyming haiku. The capitals are also a personal choice. If these things offend I am sorry. But please try to leave construnctive critizism past these points. Thank you

    Indeed it is, something I used to always look forward to as a child was snow. I used to wish every year that it would snow on my birthday, which is the 25th of January. But alas no, it only has done it once. Very nicely put.

    winds that drive and clense the world
    clense my soul with snow that whirls

    Very good haiku! So lovely! Very beautiful!
    I don't know if there's a rule in haiku poetry concerning thr rhyme, but I actually liked the fact that you made it rhyme.

    This is a very pretty poem! I enjoyed the simplicity of it just like a Haiku is supposed to be; however a Haiku is supposed to be un rhymed. I just wanted to point that out since the host said he was a stickler for Haikus, he might mention that, Wonderful write and good luck in the contest.

      Thank you for your comment. But in no definition I have seen of a haiku is there any sort of rule about rhyme
