The metaphoric interplay is so vivid that the poem is so short but the essence has proven its compactness and meaningfulness...10

I like that this poem could mean so many different things with your metaphors and beautiful imageryi think everyone will understand it differently. for me i see someone who is facing death and the stage is heaven, and the colour of their hair is changing and flashing different colours, as different aspects of his/her life is flashing in front of him/her. id love to know if im right or what its actually about?

I must admit that I don't understand this. I think part of the problem for us with Haiku is that, as we are a worldwide community, it can be tricky to understand seasonal references that relate to a part of the world with whose climate, flora and fauna we are unfamiliar.

A short three liners, open to mass interpretation, but it lacks the intensity, unlike the longer version writes.Anyway thats poetry, some were written in such a way.Good job L.P.Alex!
