A mixture of rhyme and free verse. Very well written with a smooth flow of words making for a very easy read. Good imagery and descriptive scheme.

A very good poem, I don't like winter either, but it's where I live. The poem made a clear statement. I see no need for revision. Good job.

This work has reached the exceptional level

I agree with everything you did to show winter for what it is! Glad I live in Southern California and do not have to be associated with that dreadful _ _ _ _ _ _.

Your poem at first sounds like a dwindling love affair, and then you disclose that the one you are leaving is winter. If Winter were a guy, he would certainly receive the lion's share of seasonal rejections. I'm not a winter fan and your poem expresses my feeling toward the harshest of seasons. Excellent. Sorry you missed the contest. This is very well done. Blessings to you, Linda

This is a good piece of
verse, Sue - shame you missed
the contest - as it has a
smooth flow to the words and
rhyme.

I think we are all tired of winter this
year - roll on the spring - we've sunshine
here today and daffodils in full bloom -
mind the weather can turn so suddenly.

Margaret.

Is this about a season or a relationship. Guess both or either one right? Either way, I thought it was well written and had a good flow to it. You can actually feel the cold bitterness in the words.

    As it's about personifying winter, you can read it like a season or a relationship! HA! Thanks for your great review. Sue

What a shame you missed the contest as I believe this would have been a very strong contender. It flows very well with good rhyming and descriptions. I also loved your choice of artwork which gave a really good overall presentation. Very much enjoyed!

I like the way you characterize personality traits as weather events. The line where you say you can't "weather" anymore is priceless. I think it made the poem work.

Some of the rhyming is a bit suspect, but I don't know that it matters. The poem demonstrated desperation as well as resolve... in other words... been there, done that, got the t-shirt, and sold it on Ebay. Nice work.

Sue, I really liked this one, my friend. You make the perfect case for a change of seasons. Strange, isn't it? in the winter, I can't wait for the Spring. In the summer, I'm ready for fall. Great work, Sue

Sorry you missed the deadline. I enjoyed your poem. I was thinking to myself, "yes, that's right" as I read. I found no errors while reading. Good job.
