Congratulations on your win! I like the reference of cover to sheet, the photo you chose to illustrate perfectly and the colors you chose of the white and the grey, which makes it pop off the page as if you were seeing it through your living room window. All the best to you!

I enjoyed reading your poem. Winter is coming! Therefore, you picked a wonderful topic to write about. I love your poem. It is the total package. I especially like your last two sentences (priceless!) Best wishes!

I feel quite chilled looking at this image. And your well crafted 3-5-3 verse skilfully reflects the scene. I like the idea of the sheet suggesting bed and dormancy. Nicely done! Good luck! Debbie

Like your poem. The beauty of winter can fool a person especially if you get out on the roads after a light covering of snow. But the first snow fall is always so pretty.

Lovely picture. The matting is exquisite, The font is grand. And the type color makes it believably stark.
The poem is spot-on and easily understood. I wish you good luck in the contest. Karen

Few words with a chill in the air and a winter to share, white blanket of snow with flakes that flow and stick to scene with a season so keen, I enjoyed your post and you won my vote, love Dolly x

I really love to see the first dusting of snow but I hate driving in it when it's deep and then grey and slushy lol. Your short piece of poetry reminds me of this.

We do not get a lot of snow here in Memphis, TN but I look forward to it and seeing everything looking so beautiful in its fresh blanket. I like the evening hush when snow covers everything. This is a beautiful entry.

Excellent entry for the 3-5-3 writing prompt contest.

I like the presentation too. Concrete images easy to visualize.

Good syllables count and connection between lines.

I appreciate your writing talent. Well done!

You chose a lovely illustration to accompany your poem, and the light grey background suits the scene well. The syllable count is correct, and there are no misspellings. I liked all the lines but felt the first and third lines could be swapped for a smoother read.
Thanks for writing.
