Just a haiku

Well to be honesty i think you could have done better. I'm just saying that because haiku's are suppose to make you think but then again not make you think. You didn't really make me think. I give you credit though because not a lot of people can make haiku's just because they don't want to take there time. So keep trying at what you do !

A haiku is supposed to convey two conflicting ideas and I'm struggling to see that

When I read this, I didn't think about climbing a mountain, more about a blizzard or something.

Most haikus I know are about weather, or flowers. Just something, more related to nature. Not really anything to do with nonliving things.

Maybe 'canvas' isn't the right word here, it doesn't really fit the description of a mountain, maybe something a bit more fitting, like mount.

I like the second line, although I keep wanting to think it's six syllables, because syllables and I don't get along very well. But the third line is six syllables, which is one too many for a haiku.

And natures should be nature's.

That's about it I think, I really hoped this helps you!

While this is a haiku in form, it's not a haiku in spirit. The language you're using is too abstract and metaphoric. What you've written brings a view of a desert to mind for me. But -- it should be the other way around. Describe to me a desert, and make me feel something without using any emotionally-loaded words.

Try to narrow down exactly what it was that you saw that made all these other words come to mind; what is the very root of the emotional resonance? Don't worry about the syllable count (that's a myth), just be brief and concise.

And if you are serious about writing haiku, I highly recommend this book. It will completely change your understanding of haiku as a serious poetic form:
