Your poem is so soothing! I love how you've captured the peacefulness of nature. The idea of snow as a "snug blanket" really adds to the cozy feeling! It's easy to imagine the earth resting peacefully under that soft snowy cover. Wonderful work!

What a wonderful winter Haiku poem. It flows beautifully and the picture gives the reader a sense of peace looking at it.

Well done and good luck in the contest.

An excellent entry for the Winter Nature Haiku writing prompt. I love the personification of the earth and referring to the blanket of snow as nature's comforter. Creative.

I see the double meaning with the comforter whether it is a blanket or a person offering comfort the earth covers the ground with a comforter of snow. This puts new meaning for a person offering comfort such as Mother Nature offering comfort to all of us here on this planet.

Well done. This verse provides a vivid and apt response to the prompt. The poet's imagery of wintry pleasures is expressive, and enhanced by the graphic. Overall, a very effective poem.
