Tumbling Snowflakes. [Haiku]

Feathery snowflakes tumble
From wintry filled skies
Upon frigid tree branches

`I did a reverse Haiku. I hope thats okay.
& I hope my syllable count is correct!!`

Reserve me please.

It's an old one, but hopefully it'll be fine.

Porcelain Moon [Haiku]

Upon lost nights sky,
A porcelain moon shatters,
Darkness lost its glow.

Thank you all for participating so far, they all look wonderful! Anyone more??

Here's one

The Winter's Frost

Blanketed by ice,
the young sapling grows weary,
crushed before it's time.

Sunset (Haiku)

On marine water,
Carroty billows mirrored
sun crowns horizon

Glistening Silhouette's

Golden seagulls dance,
trembling from the autumn night
upon open lakes.

Thanks to everyone, all the spaces are filled! This contest will not be closed yet as some poets have not yet posted their haiku's yet. Please post yours as soon as you can, and then this contest will close. Take care...

Winter's Frost (Haiku) Bradford pears shed thier beautiful leaves, as winter brings upon the frost.

When is this closing..?

XTheEcstasyOfSuicidex has not posted her haiku yet, I've messaged her but she hasn't responded. If she doesn't post by tomorrow, I am going to close this contest so the judging can begin, thanks for all the haikus everyone!

I think she was going to enter at first, but then edited her post..

Okay, thanks. I'm going to close this now. Merry Christmas to one and all!

Results should be in by Christmas Day...

Don't Forget: The three winners of this contest will go onto Round Two, for a grand prize...

Results are in!

First place goes to: Forever His Love aka Temps

Second place goes to: Karan Gods Warrior

Third place goes to: Melpomene

Please post the titles or pm me the titles you would like me to do, thanks...

I will start the comments/rates in a couple of days, and congratulations! I had such a fun time reading all of your haiku's, they were all so beautiful. Thank you all for entering this and have a safe and Merry Christmas!!

Winners: I will start the second round of the Haiku Contest once I get all the comments/rates in, I will try to be as quick as possible...

I would not play favoritism at all....I did go back and check the syllabe counts on those three, I didn't see any errors, but if you see one can you please tell me??

I've seen a 7-5-7 done before..

I agree with Bob I looked over the syllable count and Melpomene didnt fit the right amount of syllables. and a reverse syllable count is not a haiku. Congrats to the winners though.

LOL its honestly fine with me if I'm just DQ'd.. but thats up to the contest holder. I guess I didnt know there wasnt a reverse haiku.

I'll keep the winners there, I will accept it cause I know that you thought there really was a reverse haiku, and yours still was wonderful, so I understand. Thank you and Congrats!

Karan Gods Warrior and Melpomene, I have done your comments/rates. Great work, you both are so talented and I enjoyed each and every poem of yours. Forever His Love aka Temps, I will get to your seven comments as soon as I can..Thanks!

Done everyone with your comments/rates, thanks to all for entering!

The three winners: I will post the Round Two of The Haiku Contest tomorrow, and you three will compete for the grand prize, I might change some things, it will still be haiku, but I was thinking to make it more of a challenge, and to narrow it done better, to have a certain nature subject..How does that sound? I'll explain it more tomorrow, in the contest rules...So see you then..

"I agree with Bob I looked over the syllable count and Melpomene didnt fit the right amount of syllables."

Does my haiku really not have the right amount of syllables? I've read over it a few times and it looked fine to me.

Thanks also for the win.

Its right.. I think people just count syllables differently is all.

Its alright mel I think that the person above me is right.. cause certain words can have different syllables depending on how you pronounce it I was just a little frustrated when I read it over and saw the numbers were off I forgot that they can be said differently. Congrats I really liked your haiku.
