| Posted by Michael Smith on 01/16/10 at 01:07 AM I'm a bit of a novice, so it's difficult for me to say definitively that you intended for this to be a collection of haiku. Everyone of them fits the bill for me. I'm always thoroughly impressed by the resolve writers like yourself have to create such a fine piece. The combined diversity and accuracy of these clever images fill me with awe.

| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 01/17/10 at 11:11 PM Keen observation of the "winter tally"! I can relate as feeling I am one of this winter's statistics! Glad to be in NC where it isn't quite so cold and no snow in the forcast! |

| Posted by Laura Doom on 01/22/10 at 12:49 AM Yes, the imagery and atmosphere both sharpened by your manipulation of language, in function and form, and highlighted by the transition from grayscale to haemo-chromatic (I too am a dogwood cult member :>) |

| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 01/25/10 at 01:31 PM there is so much beauty and bleakness in nature that is fleeting, that we miss, lest it remain stark and still enough for to snap this picture like the lone figure skaters carving images such as this into our pupils. |
| Posted by Scott Utley on 01/27/10 at 08:42 PM Rembrandt and Rockwell together ... beautiful imagery - a longing in me not realized until reading this ... hope frozen in time ... |
