What a perfect remedy for "winter's gray mood" that can take over us when it stays gray everyday! But we can remember Spring and have hope for the light and blooms to come.
Sorry I missed this - must have been for an anonymous contest.
Congratulations again on winning the Cinquain Contest!

Hi Helen.... yes, "Hope" was for a contest. Sometimes when I am reading through the listings in a contest, something jumps out at me and I respond by entering... LOL. Thanks so much, my friend!!

Ahhh, Spring, my favorite time of year! Your words evoke imagery that is so real, I'm shivering at the thought of what is to come very soon. (LOL) Best of luck in the prompt!

Comment from Toni Newell
The title reflects the content. When reading this I felt hope. Spring is a season of renewal and growth. It represents more than a season. I enjoyed reading your piece.

This 3-7-5, Hope, has the right set up and reminds the readers that even in the coldest, darkest times, there is a shining day waiting.

Good play on words in your satori.
Your poem is short, succinct and descriptive. Good syllables count and connection between lines. Good imagery.

Comment from Sally Law
Me, too. I don't have much of a winter here, but I remember my younger years up north, and the ache for warmth and blooms at winter's end.
Sending you my best today as always, and best wishes for the upcoming contest,
Sally :))

This haiku expresses how the memory and hope of Spring gets us through the Winter. This seems like and ekphrastic poem. If not you were luck to find such approriate artwork.

Comment from Partha Banerjee
Excellent thoughts. Recently, one of my poems also had a similar message. I would structure the words in a different way (and everyone has their own way, and this is my personal suggestion): the first word does not need to stand alone. Just a thought. The picture is perhaps a little too extreme. I would find something less graphic. Just a few snow flakes would do it.
