This is nice, I like the dance. It is perfectly said, and a nice visual. Dry winter swirls, nice. The succinct tings are tough, but you did well. I like it. Good luck with contest.

You use the form well and you presented you images in a way which was very much in the haiku spirit. I liked the alliteration. I particularly liked the last line.

Speaks to me of Santa Anna winds and forest fires. Very vivid -- especially "bony forest". I had a little trouble picturing "withered green". For me green suggests life. Nevertheless, I like it and wish you well with the entry.

dry winter wind swirls
across hushed bony forest
withered green leaves dance
The syllable count is correct. The wording draws a clear imaginary in the mind of the reader. Good alliteration with winter/winds(assonance). Good metaphor leaves dance. Good work.

Dry winds of winter strips forest trees,
left barren of leaves and seen withered
dancing on the ground. I like this...

This is a real winner, in my book!

Wonderfully done, and my best of luck to you in the contest...

In the midst of a storm coming the forestry is already naked of their leaves and whisked away into the darkness of night.
Nice flow and imagery.
