Literature Text

us, warm in our quilts;
the earth sleeps also
under snowy blanket
Alternative title: Meanwhile, In Canada...

Feedback:
I don't have as many feedback questions this time around, but my goal was to juxtapose the way humans rest with the way the earth rests in preparation for spring, and to keep a feel of peace and calm. Have I succeeded?
As always, any other feedback is appreciated.

edits: attempted to make the blanket connection between the two images clearer, and also replaced 'frozen' with 'snowy' (it sounds softer I think)

i know youre trying to stick to the haiku form, but the word "also" just doesnt seem to fit with the rest of the poem. it kinda distracted me from the beautiful imagery you have going on here. if you change "also" to something else, i think it would help the flow very much so.
