Yeah, I was a loner. I socialized and was popular. But, you were just as likely to find me off by myself.

Well, I think there is a good chance you could've won, unfortunately I'm a financially challenged reader who can only offer kudos, but your unique voice makes the poem a lot of fun to read, creative imagery, and there's no doubt about the personification, this 'character' is one I have often cursed, and after listening to what goes thru his crusty, cold, destructive mind, I'm glad,(haha), nice piece of work, can definitely hear the 'voice' of winter.

Hello! The wonderful review from 11-9 has returned. So pleased to finally be able to respond to this excellent review. I am happy to receive these words of praise in lieu of any monetary rewards! I had the best time letting winter just have his way for once. But, little does he know, spring will win again. ha! Thank you very kindly, mikey

I'm glad the old warrior only gets loose once a year. That tree took a shellacking. I noticed lots of good alliteration and imagery. I read it a couple of times and like the way it reads, crescendos to the finale--the victory. I enjoy free verse with such cohesion--a good steady light all the way through. Condolences. kenni

A very good poem Michael. You have penned a masterpiece in alliteration. You have penned a very good description of winter overcoming fall and taking control. Well done. Nancy

Oh Mike, you have such a great sense of humour :). I don't know if this well written poem would've won, but I would've voted for it. Some of these things that win doesn't make any sense.

Hi Mikey,
This is an excellent poem. I felt the shifting of season, the shriveling of leaves and the bareness of the tree. You truly captured the season that awaits. Burrrr....LOL
Please accept my virtual Big Mac.:) The delicious aroma and mouth watering taste of grease and fat. Two rubberized burgers wedged between white doughy buns with wilted tomatoes, lettuce and their magical sauce(mayonnaise) LOL
Bon Appetit. LOL
Bye

I love your author notes The poem stood a good chance of being a winner. But donations I have none. I like your grumpy old winter. He is kind of cruel .He strips the victims and freezes their bones. Great work.

Great job. I liked the flow and the description. It is very poetic and deep. It flows well and is well paced. It is written flawlessly. Thank you for sharing and too bad you missed the contest. It would have been a top contender.
