winter

    winter branches -
    letters
    sent last spring

[billy]

are the letters written using winter branches?
or branches grow3n since spring.

the 1st instance would make it a really good haiku.
the 2nd a really good senryu. as it is the reader has a choice.
this is my fave haiku so far.

thanks for the read.

going to agree with billy, this is really wonderful
(i'm sorry i can't find a more creative way to say that at the moment)

One possible interpretation (all others are welcome) uses
the dual meaning of 'letter' as a pivot. Bare winter branches can
look like individual characters of words (especially Japanese) and
taken together they might form the words of a postal letter.
Spring wrote them and enclosed them in envelopes of leaves.
There they sit, unread, until winter opens them. (Hmm, actually it's
autumn that opens them, but the bareness of 'branch letters' seems
most evident to me in winter so...) Anyway, something like that.
Happy you liked.
