Very authentic and professional Keith! "Haiku-the genre" is yielding to you with a personal grace! A method, an ensemble of rules and regulatory negative techniques can be made to generate a publishable haiku! But we in Wonder Haiku Worlds attempt to elevate every haiku to an inevitable etymological precision and help every author to discover and create a unique haiku voice.We do believe and prove by our humble efforts that if one is sincere and attends to the pervasive universe engulfing us each sacred moment, inevitable haiku well formed erupts from our being with an intrinsic joy culled from the universal cauldron of the seamless infinite. Most magazines truncate and create a magazine style of haiku! The author is devalued and disgraced in the process. The process of editing and trans-creating is almost always motivated by vanity ego etc. without a genuine desire to perfect the haiku in hand! Here in WHW we learn from each other. with each other and try to make it all a joyous experience. Now coming to this specific haiku the following observations may be relevant our friends and other practitoners of the genre: the kigo "snow" has unobtrusively entered the narrative and the kireji is inevitable and not contrived. "invisible roads" closes it beatifically making the every day journey, a cosmic journey hinting at multiple layers of perception.
