Oooh! I like your personification of winter and how she is a "fisher of souls," who "weaves her luring spell." And I think she's doing her spells already here because it's in the 30's. Brrr! Great job with your 7-7.

Hi Yvette, a very good poem and a nice background to back it up, over here it is sunny would you believe it and last time we had a lockdown it was sunny then, does not seem like winter. Cheers Colin xx

Short and very concise to read, Yvette. It was direct and to the point. I enjoyed both your words and the picture with the intended sign of gloom. Very well done.

Dear Yvette, I was startled, and then intrigued as I thought on your image of winter being a fisher of souls.
I have taken a pause of more than 10 minutes to think on this idea and the more I think, the deeper I get.
Now wondering if you intended such ?

    It is so good to know that you really 'read' this one, Suzanna, and you have no idea the smile it put on my face to read your review... especially with the short ones...? Oh, yeah, I certainly 'intend'! ;) :) So appreciate your review here, my lady, and here's sending a bit of 'white' magic to put a smile on YOUR face!! ;) Yvette

Nothing stops the onslaught of winter and when it has a mind to freeze it goes right ahead with great gusto, the grip of winter has great might and you brought it on in this right Yvette, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Yvette,

So enjoying this Renga collaboration. Yours is noteworthy. Your selected artwork is most engaging.

I like especially your phrasing:

fisher of souls
Winter weaves

Never a big fan of punctuation for these short ones, but since you have a comma, then maybe you want to end your 7-7 couplet with a period?

Mark

A very well-written couplet in addition to the multi-author Renga book. Human can try to derail God's plan and the cycle of a human life but at the end God has the last say and He fulfill His word.

I'm that odd poet out... I always think I want to jump in...but by the time I come up with what I think might be a decent entry, someone else has taken that slot and I'm left with a 5-7-5 when it's time for a 7-7! That's okay...it's sort of how I dance too...always out of time and rhythm! LOL---YOUR entry is great!--Karenina

    You should claim your spot by starting a chapter when you know you have time to think about it... that way the spot is held til you finish! ;) :) Pretty sure that should work... but don't quote me! :) LOL!! ;) :) And I do so appreciate your review on this addition, Karenina -- I truly do enjoy the challenge of these really short ones! ;) Here's sending a bit of 'white' magic to put a smile on your face!! ;) Yvette

Beautifully penned 7-7 couplet to go with Julia's 5-7-5. I haven't been able to join in this for a reason, but I see you are adding your unique touch to this poetry collection. A treasured gift for yourself and others. I will be shown in an updated poetry book soon. My friend WalkerMan has a third edition poetry book coming out and it will be splendid. He has asked for a few of my poems to be in the book. I am deeply honored.

It's nice to see this in the making and developing. Marvelous offering for the book, my dear.

Sending you my best today as always,
Sally XOs.....

Fisher of souls - lured by the winter spell, wow this is such a beautiful metaphor. I must admit I have never tried this form of poetry. Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.
