This scene looks chilling as the ice clings to the rock and you made the whole scene seem romantic and fantastical here, much enjoyed, love Dolly x x x

This work has reached the exceptional level

You've taken something that would go by unnoticed by most, something not necessarily considered beautiful or attractive... and have written and spoken about it with such beauty and grace. That's the magic of poetry, the magic of this poem of yours, specifically. Very well done. Lovely imagery and choice of descriptive words.

    Thank you Yusita. Your enthusiastic review blows me away. You captured the essence of what I hoped this poem would be. I love pointing out the mundane to show their intrinsic value. Very much appreciated.

I found this stanza very expressive:"


Ice collared rocks in a cobalt blue stream
Cold colored ripples within the creeks flow
Crystalline fingers in filigreed dream
Winter's residuals of chilled falling snow" Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest and with your writings.

Oh I see you entered a contest... should be interesting to see the outcome...
I love the photo and the clear explanation of the structure you used...
I am not sure if leaving off the punctuation actually makes your poem flow?
Plus, every lines first word starts with a Capital... so most that read this wonderful poem of yours will feel forced to start each line as if it were new... If that makes sense.
This is just my opinion.
I was told by a fabulous poet that leaving out punctuation was a lazy way out...

    Thank you Lisaview, maybe, but I usually structure the way I want it to feel. Most of.my poems do have it.

This is a wonderful form that you have written about the photograph that you took. I enjoy looking at it and reading it. The water with the ice on it looks like it's very cold. I wish you the very best with all of your writing. Patricia.
