Your poem depicts a very pretty picture of the farmlands. Your choice of artwork is fitting. I thoroughly enjoyed your haiku. Thank you for sharing. Best wishes in the contest.

Well done! You set a scene of the first snowfall and its effects on the dry earth in a very descriptive way, Great imagery and choice of artwork. Great job!

A poem full of hope. The illustration validates the theme of the piece. One can imagine the barren and thirsty fields drinking up the first snow. well written.

Your poem is well written and I enjoyed reading it. It flows well and it held my attention. Good alliteration of words farmlands first.

The ode to poetry written in the tradition Asian form, just like a Haiku seems to work for this theme. Yours is spot on and a good entry.

I thought this was very creative. I like how you are using snow as a means to end a drought - don't usually think of it that way. Wonderful last line - very creative. Great job.

5/7/5 farmlands first snow

Interesting 5/7/5 poem. You did a good job with the syllable count and keeping with the theme of winter.

-A very nice picture to go with your poem.
-I appreciate your author notes.
-Your format and presentation is very good.
-Lines one and two connect very well with line one introducing the subject of farmland in winter.
-Line two is quite effective with very vivid word choice, like ''cracked". The reader can picture these 'barren wheat fields' so parched from being dry.
-The last line is very good with the use of 'crystals' that emphasizes the cracked and barren fields, but this time there is hope.

I love the picture you paint with your words. The wheat field is so relieved to receive the moisture. Excellent closing line

white crystals of hope.

It puts a joyful note to the first snow.

Good luck in the contest.

This is great poem! I like how your words captured the moment of winter. That took me there when I read this piece. The photo and the colors were a great choice.

Nice job!
