I think my friend....you took the "personification" aspect of this contest to the next level.....I LOVE how you personified winter in the FIRST PERSON.....simply brilliant! I dont believe I would have thought of that. And you gave Winter the Crotchety ...ill-tempered personality I imagine it would have. stumbling across this piece was a very pleasant surprise! Thank you.

This is one of the best personifications of ANYTHING I have ever read. Wow!! You give so much depth to winter in this. Exceptional stand out work.

I am Minnesota born and raised and if anyone knows winter it is a Minnesotan. I say you described winter perfectly. I moved to Colorado and though we have winter here, it is a little brother to the real thing. Thank you for a wonderful and true read.

This is great! I'm sure exactly what the contest organizers were looking for. I love how you ended it- there is no escaping it. Winter is like an evil villain in your poem. Terrific write.

This was quite a chilling entry, Anonymous Poet (pun most certainly intended, LOL) It's a bit eerie, and I liked the way you've combined a bit of free verse poetry with occasional rhyming. It made for an imaginative and extremely compelling read. One has to wonder if winter truly laments the coming of spring and summer after reading this, and you've managed to do a very good job of conveying those emotions.
Well done, and best of luck to you in the contest. ~Dean :)

Great! Very well written, I love the way you have added a mocking tone to this poem. The free verse flows well and the seasonal descriptions are excellent. Great job!

Personification of winter ... this is the second one I read and both are excellent.
Were I to compete I believe I would be a complaining winter trying to get a foothold in southern California and exhausted by the fight.
