Like your poem. Your poem is very seasonal, winter scenery, with windowpanes of frosted crystals; then springs arrives and turns the white stuff into green grass. Sounds wonderful.

Thanks, Rosemary. No more frosted panes, now that we have the double paned windows.
Comment from Mary Shifman
I love this poem. It has splendid rhyme and meter and wonderful imagery.
It reminds me of something that could have been written by Robert Frost.
Very well done. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Karyn2
This is so well written! I enjoyed the expert end rhymes the imagery you used, words choices such as "siege of Winter" - simply stunning! I enjoyed the subtle change in repetition at the end of each stanza. This poem evoked the senses! I could feel the warmth of blazing hearth and weight of the wooden clothes and see the fields of green. Truly enjoyable!!

Hi Paul,
I like the hope in this poem. Spring won't be here soon enough for me. We still have about 3 more months of Winter here.
I like the flow of your poem
Keep writing and stay healthy

Thanks, Joan. We have had very little snow here in coastal Maine so far.

No problem.
We have over a foot of snow here.

Comment from Spitfire
I like the style of each stanza with three lines rhyming and the near repetition of the last line. Alliteration with bundled and blazing, siege and soon, frosted and fields.
'Siege' brings to mind the image of war. To me that is what snow and frost mean!

This poem is very simple, yet very eloquent the way you describe nature. I enjoyed reading. I happen to like winter. I think newly fallen snow is gorgeous. I miss it living in Texas. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Thanks, Barb. The newly fallen snow has just about all melted. We've got rain coming this weekend.

If this is not exactly how I feel at this moment, it surely comes very close. I start looking forward to Spring as soon as the winter solstice passes and the amount of daylight increases...Great post! John

Comment from Terry Broxson
Paul, this is a very nice poem and is written with excellent imagery and flow. I do like the way the words roll out of my mouth when I read them aloud.
I am a bit amused; however, here in my condo with no hearth, I sit on my 4th-floor balcony in Texas in a t-shirt and shorts, basking in 80-degree days. It will most likely change, but still...Good job. Terry.
