I like the new one because it leads us to the effect, not the cause. But both are beautiful.

I didn’t realize that’s where my mind was taking me, but you’re right. Thank you.

I like this revision very much. It’s interesting what we notice after a poem sits for a bit.

Thank you, Janice. I thought of making it an American sentence, but I have a thing for couplets, whether they rhyme or not.

I like it as a couplet and how you have placed it on the image with those buds encased in water (ice?) drops.

Thank you. The picture was the start of the rewrite, because I couldn’t work it out as a haiku, so the rewrite. I had hoped to find a photo that showed a newly budding tree, yet with water. It does look like ice, doesn’t it?

It looks like ice beginning to melt. At first I saw water droplets but then looking the second time I thought perhaps it’s ice.
