Walking in Winter
Attempting to take picture on a cold day.32 total reviews
Comment from Rosemary Everson1
Your poem is talking about winter in Tennessee and when you took this picture. Shaking the camera when the fingers are cold is no fun. Enjoyed your poem though. (Just to let you know, it will be in the 30s this coming week. A winter thaw.)

Thank you Rosemary. I have looked at the forcast for nextweek and it will be much warmer than this past week. We are supposed to get a lot of rain though.

Good Morning Beth. Haha, I love the humor in the closing couplet and think you were very brave to venture out into the cold. Well done on the rhyme scheme and subject matter. I am living in denial.. my last two poems were about summer. LOL. Great verse and good writing.

This is an excellent ekphrastic style poem in its application, the equal metered 9 syllabic stanzas work so well done. I'll post my photos and write a rhyme, and trust the effort was with my time, beautifully written blessings Roy

Thank you karen. I appreciate the review. I don't know how to cutesy my stuff up, so maybe that is a good thing.

That is good to hear. I feel safe now! hahaha Some folks write quite decent stories, and then when they turn to poetry, they are back in middle school! Yuck. All care bears and the like,. I enjoy all your writing.

I think your effort is definitely worth your time here Beth as your words gave me the chills as winter has set its stall outside your house. A fine sonnet and I enjoyed your metre and rhymes, a skilful post, love Dolly x

Comment from Wendy G
The effort was definitely worth your time - it's a stunning photo, and a credit to your photographic skills, as well as to your writing of a fine poem with smoothness and good metre and rhyme. I like the contrast between the bitter cold of the outside, and the possible dangers, with the warmth, safety, security and comfort of the fire indoors. Well done. Sending est wishes.

Thank you for the review and comments. It was sort of challenge I made with myself to enter all of the free fanstory contests whether I won anything or not just to say I did. I'll see how far I'll get.
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
My Goodness, that looks really chilly and not very inviting. I'm not surprised that you're quickly lured back to the fireside. I like the way you've captured these two opposite settings which give your fine rhyming verse an additional layer of extra depth and atmosphere. Well done and good luck! Debbie

Thank you Debbie. I appreciate your comments. I'm ready for spring. It wasn't this cold last winter. What happened to global warming?

What a beautiful picture of winter's frosty face. I'm sure it was a challenge to get this amazing photo. The icicles are stunning. Should do well in the contest.
