Thank you for your compliments. Haiku is rather a new form for me. I.e., it is new as far as writing it is concerned. Your words are very encouraging to me. I think I will experiment a little more with the form. Again, thanks for your kind words.

I agree with Patricia's comment (which is like a poem in itself)! Yes, the haiku has the magical effect of glitter cards, or those wonderful paperweights with silver snow inside.

Glitter Cards by: Patricia A. Hawkenson
Your poem reminded me of the old fashioned glitter cards. I loved them. They were the captured art of the beauty of walking at night through sparkling snow. Ethereal, intangible as air.

Evocative haiku by: Anonymous
I've always loved the sight of snow falling in moonlight -- it gives me a floating sensation, as does your haiku.
An interesting choice to use winter images in the first two lines of the poem and then to surprise the reader with a reference to spring in the final line.
