: Paddler scans horizon
: Sees only snow, ice and wind
: Dips paddle in slush. Perfect!
I think you have something here. My advice is to tell us less up front to make the "ah" moment more surprising. Something like:
horizon of
snow, ice and wind
dipping a paddle in slush
If you want a good book on haiku, I'd suggest three. Haiku: a Poet's Guide by Gurga (the best one), The Haiku Handbook by Higginson (great book), and Writing and Enjoying Haiku by Reichhold (not as good as Gurga's but pretty darn good).
I love haiku and have been writing it for over 10 years now. It's a hard form to master.
