This winter haiku, Frozen Little Hands, fits right into the coming season when kids will be out battling in the cold, while battling the cold.

What a terrific image you chose and your poem compliments it so nicely. Little hands as well as big ones can get frozen on a cold, wintry day. Hugs, Lou

Good photo to accentuate the message in your haiku-winter contest entry, Anonymous Poet. The 5-7-4 and sixteen syllabic count is well within haiku limitations. All of the other rules of the contest seem to have been adhered to perfectly as well.
Good luck to you in the booths.

Yes, that's the aftermath of any war, it will cause havoc not only to the warring camps but more so the innocent civilians especially the children who are the unwilling victims of the war. Children who should be studying are displaced unnecessarily and education takes a backseat in exchange for safety. This is an excellent haiku.God bless.

War is hell, some say. It is the children who always pays the cost. Your poem is the moment and plagues the mind with wonder. Good contest piece.

This is a clever little haiku verse. It has a good play on words and appears to meet all the criteria for the contest. Best wishes!

Comment from Pyrrho
Thanks for the "non-author's-note" I forgot the requirements of the classic Japanese form and you explained it succinctly, or the site did and you quoted it.
I have a bit of a problem relating the satori to the body of you poem because of the word "war". But I do enjoy the poem overall. I wish the site would stop encouraging illustrations. I like to create my own visuals and they rob me of that pleasure.

Excellent haiku, author, and one that is so relevant to the world today. I also like the art work you have chosen to compliment it. I noticed this is a contest entry, and consider this a winner. Best of luck

Comment from Sambangi
haha....excellent aha in coldblooded war.I'm not an expert of haiku, but what ever little I know, first two lines shall give a concrete imagery and third mostly human experience. I think the words in second line "to stay worm" are more of a human experience....that is inference from the earlier part.
I feel it will be much better, if you describe the cold and/or fire in first two lines in full and put human experience only in third line. Otherwise, this short poem is quite good. I'm not trying to force my opinion, but I would have done that if I'm in your place.
