Morning snow
on wooded branches -
Deadlines loom.

    Nicely done.

    Dear Ken,
    For me this one doesn’t quite work, because the connection between the two parts doesn’t click. Any other observation of natural beauty could go with “deadlines loom” (and often does, in my experience!) and the poem would be pretty much the same.
    What paticular moment of nature, or way of expressing that moment, makes the looming deadlines particularly vivid, or painful, or meaningless, or, now that we come down to it, not so important after all? :-)

    Summer’s dress rehearsal
    canceled

    Sad Snow turns to ice

    Snow on dead branches
    Quickly falls, loneliness comes
    Leaking crystal tears

    It has the wrong amount of syllables. It’s 5-7-5. Otherwise, it’s great!
