Loved your font choice and image! Perfect for the theme...

It's so true how we assimilate winter according to age and circumstance.

I'm still amazed I used to love staying out in the freezing weather as a child!

These days it's with much complaint I dash to the preheated car!

An excellent response to the prompt. Your poem is full of descriptive imagery which people can relate to. It rhymes smoothly and well.

First and Last is a form that is ideally suited to convey a fun scenario. You have managed it brilliantly .Winter's pleasures and the stark white scenes have come alive in this...

Hi JLR, I really liked this First and Last. As I was reading it, I couldn't help thinking that it didn't sound quite like mine. The rhyme scheme I mean. Well, I was right, mine was off. I was luckily able to make an easy correction.
A very nice Club entry for Potlatch this week

Yup, this was an icy stroll down memory lane for this gal. Don't miss it, but it was fun at the time.

Poem is spot on, and the image, background color, and font create a Norman Rockwell feel to this piece.

This is a wonderful welcome to the new season that is upon us!

I usually like to pint out my favorite stanza on poems, but I really enjoyed them all on this one.

Well done!

Well done.
Though it has me wonder what could I have liked as a lad in winter?
Surely, getting wet, and having my toes go numb, not; or a runny nose
dripping snot on my scarf to be icicles.
