I know you live where it gets very cold in the deepest of Winter. seeing nature that comes about in Winter must be thrilling and a good repoire for you to relate to them. Me is see the birds flying South, geese flying South, some animals stay, like rabbits, deer, groundhogs, but Winter is bleak and dreary til Spring comes again.
This to me borders on a very moving, spiritual story. Excellent composition with masterfully scripted emotion. You are an artist with verbiage. Jon Michael Willey

~ No matter how alone one may feel, long as they call out to someone... one is never alone ~
If you've heard it once, you've heard it a million times... so talented.
Yes, very beautiful, and like a piece of music might, this swells with a feeling and message of hope and caring and nurturing...even in the deepest winter.
Bring tears to my eyes!! So beautiful, so evocative. Favorite probably, "In deepest winter/A sweet child is lost among/
These gentle giants."
Can you spell tour de force?
. . .absolutely transporting. . .
Merci, mon ami, merci. Je t'aime! Happy Holidays !!

There's incredible tension. The Emptiness at the beginning and then the fullness at the end is just how i feel after I had a good soulfood meal. I sort of reminds me of the Neverending Story. Where the nothing was taking over but the planet was restored to it's beautiful and vibrant state by the two young heroes. Keep cooking up great works!
'In deepest winter' We have not this kind of winter here...very nicely crafted haiku chain!

This is great storytelling, Regis. I am touched by the movement between the different "chapters" and the intense visuals of each scene. The beginning evokes such loneliness and despair, while the ending is filled with hope, with the two parts held together with a message of compassion and faith. A highly evocative and mystical piece.
You've linked these poems beautifully! A truly lonely feel to them at first. Then they transform into a feeling of welcome and belonging. All the while, you are precise with the imagery. Well done! :)Sheila
In Deepest Winter, you have brought a warmth to us with your words.
I'm not a fan of the winter, but you have shown us the best that winter has to offer. Excellent write.
Awwwwwww, I love the filling of FALLING into this World! Reg! :)
Love your heart!
Happy! Holidays!

you allow your reader to experience the silence of the winter...for me it sounded like the blanket of snow you wake to, pristine, untouched, quiet...well disciplined use of the haiku's...how they connect to tell a story...and i liked the sound at the ending
Amazed at your talent-- I read it before the picture fully maturized, but when I scrolled back up, the picture in my mind was even more haunting and vibrant. A chain of ku's. Is that like (don't kill me for this) a "ku-ku train?" I hope the snow falls soft on your house. --Charlie
It takes strength because only the hardiest survive the winter. what I remember most about winter are the cold dry nights beneath a biliion stars. it takes your breath away. I miss it sometimes. ~ Sara

I do remember those deep winter months in Pa when the hemlock boughs would bend with the weight of the snow and make little houses for the children to play under. Nicely done. Lady J
Wonderful flow to this sequence and chain, Regis. Makes me feel all goosey... first the silence, then the reply. All caught by the stillness of the night. Can feel the waters freezing over, caught in frost's clasp. Very evocative and atmospheric, bless you, Kate xx

Dear Regis,
The thoughtful strokes of your quill have created a beautiful tribute to the winter season.
Reg,
This is such a beautiful heartwarming poem. I love how you captured the loneliness of winter with a mystical nature driven theme. Very well penned, by friend. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this.
Peace, Love, and Light,

Such a soulfully wonderful write, Reg. We all need to connect, and in the gray dreary days of Winter perhaps our loneliness is deepest felt. I liked the hopeful and pleasant ending of this. Maybe all us old lone wolves will find an answer someday? Thanks, and all good things to you,
Jim

Collection of winter ( haiku)
I have ever read..the sound of in the deepest of winter
Gives me a feeling of just sit outside wrapped in a blanked
with a hot cup of coco and admired the stars
while feeling the col breeze on my face!!
Truly stunning view of winter!

I recall a harsh winter in the mountains of Arkansas. The wolves howled at night and made this moaning sound. One night I woke to a full moon and the whole blanketed snow looked like glitter was everwhere. It was one of the most amazing and mysterious sights I'd ever see.I love the wolves. When I would walk 4 miles up and down the dirt roads they seemed to follow me and protect me.I think they were saying to one another, There she is. That silly southern lady walking these back roads alone. Let's make sure she gets where she's going and then back home!". Love,
Susan
A seasonal melody that warms us from the inside out with the wolf's thick winter coat of silver-tipped guard hairs. Padding with you in some deep tundra, Regis...Happy Holidays to you and your family...Blessed Be.
Love Always,

Regis, this is beautiful. You have a deep sensitivity to the world around you, and a wonderful ability to put it into words. From the lonely sense of isolation at the beginning, where owl and wolf calls are unanswered, to the sense of reassurance at the end as answers are heard at last...even in the deepest, coldest winter there is hope. I like it! :o)
