Winter Begins
Colder winds mean...9 total reviews
Comment from JLR
Brrrrrr! Blasted cold oozed right off the page! Gosh, I am so not ready for the onslaught of wintry weather. Every single aspect about this rhyming acrostic poem is wonderful. From your selection of the worse nightmare in a graphic to the meter and message is without question a message for the ages. Good luck!

Comment from susand3022
I really liked this, Author, even though I wish I could just hang snuggly in my house for the winter months! I am finding that the cold where I am, is much warmer than the cold where I was. I used to live on the ocean, and 40 degrees there was much colder than -10 degrees here in the mountains, where I am now. The ocean has that dampness that comes off the water. It makes the slightest cold, chill you right to your bones, quickly. It's brutal and takes forever to get warm again. Up here in the mountains though, the cold is dry, and so, even when it gets down to -10, it doesn't get that bone-chilling coldness that I got on the ocean... even with wind. You really need to stay outside for a while to get that cold. I'm loving the mountains.

I've always wanted to see them in person..I'll bet they're beautiful. The air too, I've heard is wonderful. Thanks so much for reading my poem. :)
Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
This is a good rhyming acrostic entry. The text is a great size. The message about winter is clearly stated. The rhyme scheme works well enough. However, the poem is crammed in the poem box. I would drop the first line down one or two spaces. Increase the space between the two verses a bit and go to the last word in the second verse and hit enter at least two times. This will give your poem more space in the poem box. Your gif visual is excellent. It makes one feel your first line of wild winter winds.

A beautifulpoem and a well written one, although we areapproaching summer, and never have such winters as you describe. Your rhymes are smooth and the pesentation is excellent. Best wishes for your entry.

Yes these stanzas create an ambiance of the chills of winter that we are just embarking upon as the final leaves fall and snow arrives - very seasonal

Thank you, when you live in Minnesota you get used to the winter weather....but still complain about it. :). Thanks for reading.
Comment from royowen
We're just coming into summer as you are entering winter, but it's the way of the climactic weather, but they all serve a purpose, they all play a role, this is beautifully written my friend, the rhyme works well, and this is a great post. Well done, blessings, Roy

Thank you for this amazing review, I'm a little jealous of your weather. :)
Comment from jessizero
I enjoyed your rhyming acrostic poem. I especially appreciated your rhyme scheme. The beginning letters could have been formatted to stand out more, but that's not critical. Thank you for sharing this here, and best wishes to you.
