colors of winters passing
hope quivers in sun

Nice, Melanie! I like the ice leaf as a carrier of hope and winter color!

I really like this; I can see it! You've caught winter; it persists on our hope.

Shiver, shiver...
I love that word
'quivers'

Very nice haiku, Melanie. Yes, old Sol has not let us down since I've been around. :-)

On the senyru, this sums it up. "Senyru are like haiku, except they reveal an aspect of human nature juxtaposed with an image of nature. In contrast, haiku are short Japanese poems that invite us into a shared experience of nature." [ http://www.ehow.com/how_4495033_write-senyru.html - How to Write Senyru ]
Just a lot of people call both 'haiku' and don't worry about things.

I can see the leaf striving to break away on its own. Trying so hard.
