Summary
The website content presents a reflection on winter through haiku poetry, with the author sharing two versions of their work and inviting feedback.
Abstract
The website features a poetic contemplation on the theme of winter, specifically the winter solstice and holiday season, through the medium of haiku. The author, who adheres to the traditional 5–7–5 syllable format in one version, also experiments with a less orthodox approach to haiku that focuses on its principles rather than strict syllable counts. The imagery evokes the sharpness of winter with the sun's hidden harshness and the biting wind against rosy cheeks. The author extends holiday greetings and expresses curiosity about the audience's preference between the traditional and non-traditional haiku formats.
Opinions
the brilliant sun
hides teeth this crisp winter day
wind bites rosy cheeks
Wishing everyone a wonderful solstice and holiday season.
I used the 5–7–5 traditional format above but often haiku in a slightly less orthodox manner following (I hope) the principles of haiku without the syllable format.
my first go was:
brilliant sun hiding teeth today bite rosy cheeks
Let me know if you prefer one or the other. Just curious.
