It does seem that this year winter is throwing a temper tantrum about having to leave so spring can arrive. Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. I enjoyed reading and wish you luck with the contest.

Thanks Barbara!

Hopefully our bad weather is behind us. However, Mother Nature still plays its trick with heavy rains in some places.

Stroke of genius to use a black and white photograph here... I'm anticipating the colors of spring! Hey...you're really good at this poetry stuff. I'm guessing you've heard that time or ten!

(And you make one heck of a co-author)

Smiles,

Karenina

This is moodiness at its best, not only in your words, but as an overall work. Winter sounds surly and reticent to leave, but he doesn't have a chance. New blood has arrived. Nice alliteration too. Well done.

Thank you Linda!

Likely I jumped a season with this post, but the idea floated into mind, so?.

I love the idea of winter sulking. This poem reads well and has the correct number of syllables per line for the contest. I know why you have used past and future tense in one poem and it works but maybe I would have said 'winter retreating' instead. Good luck in the contest
