Hi Val
This is a well done short poem that describe the changing of the seasons well. It is an irony that a Winter icicle can water a Spring daffodil. It is a good visual. I like your artwork.
Congrats on placing third in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a nice day.

Comment from Michael Ludwinder
That's a lovely haiku! The difference between the cold icicle and the warmth that brings life to the daffodils is beautifully shared. It feels like a quiet moment from winter to spring. So well written!

Comment from Bill Schott
This fifteen-syllable poem, Winter's Gift, has the proper syllable count and finds the winter ice, melting away, sending the power of life down to the coming constituents of Spring.

I enjoyed reading this 15 syllable entry, It is a lovely example of one season passing into another. The drip of the icicle nourishing the daffodil so it appears hailing the new season. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from zanya
One can almost feel the chill as the icicle drips, presumably in the rising Spring temperatures while nourishing the feisty daffodil that dares to face the lingering winter chill

Comment from Nicki.B
I really enjoyed this 15 syllable poem. A poem that says good bye to Winter and hello to Spring.
But it also give the wonderful thought that Winter has gifted Spring with growth. Ans daffodils being the most beautiful sign of Spring it was a great choice. .so much said here, with such word limitation, so well done!
Good luck with the contest!
I really love the image to compliment too.
Best Wishes

Thank you, Janet. As always a lovely review from you, hoping Spring is around the corner for you. In southern California, the blooms are popping.
Comment from Cecilia A Heiskary
This is a beautiful 15 syllable poem. It is funny that the icicle is dripping to nourish the daffodils that are soon to be popping out of the ground come spring.
Well done and good luck in the contest
