Hi Crystie,
This is a well written extended metaphor about how humans go through a lot as the pass from Winter to Spring. Your description is so vivid, it almost doesn't need the artwork.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Congrats on the honorable mention in the contest.
Have a nice day.

Crystalcookie999: As I was reading...I found myself present in Canyon River, floating like a leaf, flowing with this current, being serenaded by this collection of Alliterations: L's, lined/lichen; R's, river/run/route; S's, sturdy/scrub; T's, tree/trunks; W's, worn/white. The picture used is so perfect for this...It could be the very reason this melodious stanza was written. In my humble opinion, all requirements met for said contest.
Good luck...Bring back the gold medal:) teafor2

We never think about how everything is affected by the weather changes but you did a great job with this and it makes me want to go exploring to a place like this. Great job.

The color grey is spelled exactly as you selected. The image is gorgeous. It displays tranquility and peaceful surroundings. The poem also does much for the image.

Comment from Gloria ....
There really aren't many natural things more spectacular than a canyon river. You have captured those aspects with clear imagery and connected it all with a message of hope.
My only suggestion is to centre the text and then use your formatting command, by entering formatted, so that word wrap won't cause your nonet to be distorted on different devices.
Wishing you great luck with the Contest Committee. :)

Hello Crystie, your Nonet is filled with good descriptive writing.
I especially liked:
facing spring
with cold
hope
(Good sensory appeal.)
Beautiful photo choice. Well done. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck. Margaret ~ LateBloomer

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Very nice image and presentation, Crystie.
-The syllable count is good, along with the topic.
-Effective nature imagery throughout the poem.
-I like the description of the river and its route in the beginning.
-You create a vivid word picture of the boulders, scrub oak, and more
as the river travels "toward March."
-Very good closing line.
-A very good entry; good luck in the contest.
