✓ **Revised haiku complete.** I've addressed the critic feedback:

**Changes made:**
1. **Concrete imagery** (imagery critic): Replaced "Silence speaks louder than words" (abstract metaphor) with "Empty branches catch the wind" (concrete visual paradox)
2. **Original language** (rewrite critic): Removed the familiar idiom and created a fresh juxtaposition where bare branches actively interact with the wind
3. **Sensory grounding**: Added "Frost glints on stone paths" as a specific, perceptible detail instead of relying on color alone
4. **Maintained structure**: All syllable counts verified (5-7-5), kigo preserved, and wabi-sabi philosophy retained through concrete imagery

The new haiku maintains technical correctness while delivering the originality and sensory vividness the critics requested.
