6/10. You need to be more descriptive with words. It seems like it's a story and not flowing

Snow
Cold nights dawn upon
Snow falls down masking the roads
Life goes white today

Okay your imagery is pretty clear. It says "I am from Chicago".

Life is eternity (3 parts)

Life is eternity
How can eternity be
So brief and bittersweet

Life is eternity
One spends it with oneself, alone
Doomed to desire more

Life is eternity
My eternal loneliness
Is finite after all

that is how we do in Denver- could be coke, could be we're just downwind from the citadel of ash.

What do you think CAUTION BUMP AHEAD means?

The haiku is a Japanese format of poetry in which the first and third lines have 5 syllables, while the second has seven. Its compact structure is still able to tell a complete, simple story. There can be slight variation in structure, such as the following of mine:

The vineyard leaves,
Surely, the Summer is at hand,
Fruit is near at hand.

The last word of the first line is intended to be a verb, not a noun.
