Wow, I could really see that in front of me, such a gloomy picture you have painted!
A good Haiku always has a twist and you gave this a profound one indeed.
Excellent write, my friend.

Big hugs,

A wonderful job Michael
I loved the vision of misty lakes, I use to fish early mornings with my husband, I always loved the beauty and the air of mystery

Wow excellent Job michael...The words that you have chosen really brings life to the poem.It was just beautifully penned down

Great imagery, by far the last line made the entire haiku a success for me. Wonderful wonderful write. Flawless.. amazing word choice, descriptive, completes the poem perfectly.

Well done.
Glad to see you're back.
5/5

I think the imagery is great. With a nice flow this poem is really amazing!

When done correctly a haiku will leave a vivid impression upon the readers mind. You have done just that with little words.

The magic of a haiku is that the reader can take it as an nature poem or let the mind interpret as an psychological release. Either way the words that you have penned are lovely and leave the reader breathless.

Well done.

Wow! this is wonderful.
It tottally gives a misty feeling like the tittle says, and through those lines I could clearly imagine the lake, *shivers* the last line was a great way to end it I can see the needles of frozen ice beneath the surface twinkling with beauty and madness luring bodies closer to take their life away.

Lovely haiku/great metaphors....dark and imaginative...I see the murky waters of memory that stab as the needles of despair hang over the frozen heart....my take at least.

I've enjoyed reading several of your formed poems! Take care...Debbie

This is a really brooding and powerful piece, Michael. Beautifully written, as usual.
