This is a great poem,
well thought out,
gives the reader
a mental image of the
scene, aided by the
beautiful art work.
Well done,
thank you for sharing.

Wow! Very nice piece of work. There are certain types of characters in your writing, that to some effect draws me in. I don't know whether it is the word choice, or the imagery created but together, they mend very well. Thank you for posting

An amazing write, Mikey.

Definitely exceptional.

The title is profound: Dominion's Brief Glory.


Deep and full of wisdom.

"Once again, mighty forest, the battle is engaged.
Long have I rested, midst these silly fairies
and this foul pukish stench"

The words flow smoothly.

A hint of humor there with the involvement of "silly fairies" and "pukish stench."

I love these lines:

"and are now lying
like a crinkled, crispy corpse upon the ground."

Flawless alliteration in harsh "c"

Just one suggestion:


"I will horribly howl and hellatious breezes blow"

I think it should be "hellacious" instead of "hellatious"

Love all your descriptions of snow..creating personification:

"Feel my wretched, drenching downpour
on your brittle, skinless bones,
frozen missiles, hurled relentlessly
downward.....sideways striking vicious blows."


your author notes made me laugh:)

Huggies

Amanda

Mikey, this is pretty awesome. What works for me is the language throughout the piece. Always strong and ebullient. Allit is good (sometimes a little cheeky - hellatious? mmmm). Let 'em google it LOL. Seriously mate, a really strong write. Be proud - DJ

This would sound awesome read aloud with this personification of winter. I felt just a bit naughty while reading the stanza:
Oh, dear me, I have shown a bit too much passion,
when I blew a kiss
and every last leaf went flying off your limbs
and are now lying
like a crinkled, crispy corpse upon the ground.

And I especially like that 'c' alliteration.

This sounds odd, but I was not sure if tormentious was even a word; it must have more usage outside of the USA.

This is awesome and would definitely have been a contender in the contest. I must also agree, pride is for sissies. You won't be getting any Big Mac coupons from me, they would be Mexican burgers and I'm not sure if you like jalapenos.

    Yes, I love jalapeƱos. I do most of the cooking here. It's a board and care for mentally impaired folks and I put mild chilis in everything. hahaha! If you can make chile rellenos than I am on a plane! Glad you liked this. It was fun to let winter go crazy for once, mikey
