This paints a very vivid picture of the first icing of the season, when everything is still green and you have the contrast with the icy blast that dooms most of them to die, but before death, leaves its last beautiful portrait! Great job,
Rhonda

Hello mystery writer,
I like your haiku. It has the right amount of syllables-good job- and a clever satori line. I wish you the best of luck in the contest. Good job!

The picture that your haiku provokes is beautiful. I can visualize the crystal dewdrops clinging in the morning untouched by humans. The grass shimmering in the early morning sun. Thank you for sharing. Kudos on a job well done.

Ha. I loved the speed of this Haiku. Gentle and visual. From a big picture, I can already see the crystalized garden frozen over. Good luck and cheers.

Yes a distinctively effective wintry feel portrayed here in this Nature Haiku as the essence of the coldness of the season summed up in striking imagery 'crystallised garden'.

winter dew drops sit
frozen on blades of grass
crystallised garden
I think it would read better this way:
(haiku) winter dew drops
winter dew drops
sit frozen on blades of grass
crystallised garden

Thanks- i suppose i was just sticking to syllables per line, but that still does not take me over the correct count. I may change it to read that way. Thanks again

Beautiful poem. I am clearly able to picture each individual raindrop solidified on a field of grass that has not yet turned brown. Great job and I appreciate that you did not add a picture with it.

author,
I am far from an expert on haiku or any other kind of poetry, but according to the guidelines this is a haiku. I find these forms most difficult to write due to its limits and rules and, therefore, true creativity and originality is a must.
Your work is truly beautiful and creates such great imagery within its strict perimeters. well done..

I thought that you captured the beauty of winter well in this piece, although I don't want to start thinking about winter quite yet. I liked your choice of words especially crystalized garden. I couldn't find anything to critique. Good luck in the contest...Jacob
