My feet hit the snow as
I walk, the wind blows, homeless
Through trees and my heart

I like how you described the wind as homeless. the simplicity was very nice and I feel it captured a walk in the woods, as you effectively described feeling part of the forest (wind blowing through trees and your heart)

I agree. It's a good poem but should be posted under free verse. I think the point of a Haiku and Sonnet is to be able to express your thoughts within the limitations in a beautiful way and have the reader still be able to understand your meaning. I have also read a lot of Sonnets that are not even close to a proper sonnet and they bother me too, being that they are well written, but not in the right category.

It was good, but I don't understand why you don't just eliminate the word as. It is your writing though, and it was a good poem.

even if the top and bottom lines were the same in this poem, it's not a haiku. there are just some forms of poetry where the form is unchangeable. haiku and sonnet are examples.

I think it's still okay. Poetry is really subjective today, even haiku. I think the only real requirements are that the top and bottom line are the same and are a few syllables more than the middle.

great poem but not a haiku!! it has 5 syllanble on the first line, seven on the second, and five on the last line. not trying to be spiteful, but i'd call this free verse not haiku
