You have well described the beauty of God's world through the open door. I grew up in a house that had two 10' and two 8' feet picture windows. Winter was especially lovely with all the icicles hanging from the forest surrounding the house. I can identify with your poem.

Thanx so much, Thaities! I'm so glad you enjoyed my crazy 'big word' fun... I couldn't resist being a bit 'sarcastic' with the contest definition... so glad they made you smile!! Take care out there and thank you again! :) Yvette

Dear Yvette,
Wow! A tour de force of lexographic brilliance. You certainly did it the hard way, just to avoid those pesky verboten words. But, you did it with style, imagery and humour. I pray this one is a winner.
Good luck.

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello Yvette. When I first opened up the poem, I had to rub my eyes a few times because I saw all the waviness in the picture. Then I realized it was actually rain. You did an absolutely outstanding job of avoiding normal words. The mundane was exiled.
I like the rhyme pattern really well and enjoyed reading your polysyllabic words. Good luck in the contest.

Awesome write on many levels. Love the PicMix image. Solid ABAB rhyme throughout and a delicious choice of what I call "25 dollar " words. The author notes surely let some peeps sleep easier. DJ

Your illustration is quite appropriate for such a lovely poem. Both feel a little isolated and yet at the same time, most welcoming. I suspect that's the hope of the end of winter and the way most of us feel about spring. Best wishes.

You're so right, Victor - I am SOOOO ready for Spring to get it's butt here, sir!! ;) Thanx for your review - it is appreciated, as always! ;) Yvette

Yvette, I've live in Minnesota and it can snow in October and then again in May. Once in a while I believe we skip spring all together. But hopefully not this year. And, are most welcome.

Lol! Well, sir, if anyone understands unpredictable weather its us folks here in the South: in the Winter especially, if you don't like the weather one day, just wait till tomorrow.... it's bound to be different! ;) Take care of you! ;)

I enjoyed reading your poem. You use of rare vocabulary was great. I admit I have not heard of some of these words but loved learning their meaning. This is a beautiful poem about Spring. Thank you for sharing.

I love the artwork you choose to go with your poem, they are a perfect math.
You captured my attention from the start even though I didn't know some word meant later I understood your delightful poem more .Like I always say I'm never to old to learn
Have a safe and blessed week end.

Your picture matched your poem nicely.
You did a good job at avoiding the banished words.
Thanks for the attached glossary... It was helpful to clarify things more vividly.
Best of luck in the contest.
