You revealed each roof
As a coarse palm, made to hold
The cold truth of snow

Such richness in so few words! Fantastic haiku, D.J.!
You've mastered the form, this is as gorgeous a haiku as I've ever read! Bravo, my friend :)
Oh this is phenomenal! Love it! 💓🌟
Nice work matching the artwork.
This evoked association with my Grandad. Protective with coarse hands that could weather anything.
Nothing to add here, but that this was beautifully done!
Appreciation for art mixed with a descriptive and apt personification. "Cold truth of snow" - I like the suggestion of no guile.
Oooo, that was deep! Loved your Haiku!
Simple and effective.
Nicely done!
It's a beautifully layered piece that leaves a lasting impression. Well done!
Haha super clever!! Loved it😍
