Winter's Song MAG
April 27, 2013
cracked, white lips bending
over cups of dark coffee
all the warmth has left

HEyyy!!!!!!!! This one! Congratulations :D I do think I commented before and if I didn't say it before (or even if I did I'll say again) : This is one of the best winter poems I've ever read. Make all the faults and flaws of winter seem ever so acceptable and wonderful when held in stark contrast alongside the wonders. P.S. I love the non capitalization. And I AM SO HAPPY LIV. COngatulations again! :D

Great job! This haiku is wonderful, I like how you made winter seem almost dark. I would suggest maybe next time trying to do a haiku on a bit deeper of a subject, but this one is still very good!

Very nice. It is so hard to write a brilliant peice with so little words, but you did it wonderfully! I could clearly see the imagery and feel winter's sharp bite and the longing for summer! Very nicely done!
I love this poem because it really brings out so much without saying alot. I love poems like that, and only a few people can really perfect it like u have. What an amazing talent you have- Also, CONGRATS ON THE CHECK MARK! I know its a huuuggee deal and just wanted to let u know tht u deserved it :)

mm-mm.....WOW.... I really do prefer winter but your poem well, the very mention of coffee made me space for a soft spot for summer. This a truly an amazing Haiku.. Well I only just started writing Haiku but this, yours, this is.... I mean truly seems like an expert wrote it. Well, you must be one then.. ... The first line: Great beginning, get's one thinking and the metaphor is pretty tasty, then the second line: well I might've preferred mugs only cause cups gives me a little tea-ish ambiance, but coffee just covers it all, then thrid line: perfect way to top it off... and I love the fact that you used the word "warmth".. Congratulations on the Editor's Choice and looking at the other comments, it looks like people aroung her call you Liv....Is that your first name or a nickname? So anyway Liv, I really like this, can't wait to read more of your work...
