Soft blanket of snow
Memories lingering still
caress a cold corpse
In this haiku, there are different images that come to mind while in this small moment. The first line gives the imagery of serene open area covered with a white blanket of snow. Continuing on, the second line gives the idea that there is a nostalgic feeling or memories of being in the snow and the final line gives the poem a cynical twist. The memories caressing a dead corpse changes the entire mood of the poem from sweet and peaceful to slightly dark and depressing.

i agree that your last line was a indeed different than your first two lines. it definately threw a twist in your haiku.
loved the picture too. it really brought your 'blankets of snow' alive. i could imagine your whole haiku taking place in that picture.
