Carolyn this is a pretty word-painting of a snowy natural scene. The last line offers up a strong comparison with jewellery and the personification adds to the punch.

A couple of tiny things:
Shouldn't that be 'drenches'?
.... and Queen's needs an apostrophe.

Good luck in the contest.

Steve

In the previous poem, I just remembered you should have had snow-covered, in this one chrystal is spelt crystal. A fine abc poem, I like the mention of the queens being jealous of this jewelled display, beautifully descriptive language and very well clothed and presented, blessings, Roy.

Thanks Roy, my title is correct but hit a wrong key in the poem line. I will fix pronto. :-) I appreciate your fine remarks. Love, Carolyn

Carolyn; a very impressive piece of poetry and a well done ABC format that is really unified through each line and rhythmically sound that each line fits each other so well in a unified manner. Plus you used rhyming which was ultimately neither forced nor labored and even helpful in this rhythmic flow. And I love the added ending which is truly clever and witty and resourceful in your imagination which is definitely inventive and ingeniously creative. Good luck in the contest and thank you for sharing and posting this.
Alex

G'day mate. This is a great little piece and has helped to give me the ability to start to enjoy short poems, I used to dislike them with a passion. Well done and good luck, Cheers Fez

Happy New Year, Carolyn,

Hey, I was surprised when you popped up but not in my email. Gotta check why I didn't get this.

Beautiful artwork and poem.

Altitude where we live is less then 500 ft, yet we had SNOW Tuesday morning! Stuck for a while too. Froze my little tootsies off!

The best of luck in the contest.

Cheers & Blessings
Keep Smilin'... Jax (*:*)

Thanks Jax, I think half of the world had snow Tuesday. LOL. We had a little but didn't impair the driving. It is now, however, very, very cold and will stay that way for several days. Brrrrrr
we leave for AZ mid-Jan. I will be ready for some heat by then so ya better crank it up.
I appreciate the best wishes.
:-) Carolyn
