That is so very true, Carolyn, and your lovely description of such a night -- in true ABC poetic form and fashion -- truly brings such a scene to life. This is a well composed, outstanding entry for the contest utilizing fantastic imagery.

Wonderfully done, and best of luck to you! :)

This was written beautifully and the photo enhances the words as well. The rhythm was right on as well.. Just glad I live in Hawaii where I can experience the snow and ice through someones words rather than feel it in real time lol

    You old coward you. LOL.... I don't blame you.. Best to look at pictures only, especially if you live in Hawaii. I have always wanted to visit there, but I must admit, I love our 4 seasons.
    Hope you are doing well.
    Love, Carolyn

This is indeed a beautiful landscape that this pristine wilderness is depicting with this winter scene in the picture. How beautiful it is and this poem adds to the beauty. Well done.

Another wonderful composition and a picture that reflects your well written and descriptive poem. Even without the picture your words bring a mental vision that matches the beauty you described. Excellent!!

Hi Carolyn,

This is a beautiful ABC poem. I loved every word of it. The picture you chose
to go with it is outstanding. I love how snow sparkles and shines. I just don't
like when it gets really cold outside. I'm just wondering if drench should be
drenched?

Best wishes in the contest, Kat

    You are correct about the drenched, I have corrected it some time ago but so appreciate your catching that too. Glad you liked the poem my friend,
    Love, Carolyn

    I never know if I should point out tiny mistakes to someone or not. I'm glad it didn't bother you that you just had to add a couple letters to drench.
