That is a tough prompt but you nailed it. We don't get the snow part until after Christmas. What a wonderfully written poem,

Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day, and God bless.

What I remember from way back when I was a Trentonian was how true your words fit those days now far away, and that's okay, being old I would be falling more often there than here in Carolina. I like your piece, too.

This is a very well-crafted entry. I like that you add an extra degree of difficulty and made it the form resemble a Christmas tree. Smart move, it will help your entry stand out from the crowd.

Good luck in the contest.

This is a beautiful ode to Winter in which you have managed to avoid the words, SNOW, ICE, COLD and FIRE. The imagery is stunning throughout this poem, ie, "Naked trees in frozen pose". Beautiful. good luck.
