Your trilonnet was beautifully written. You did a great job of making the snow pretty and peaceful. I especially loved the metaphor of the icing on the cake. I live where there is a lot of snow. I don't like the snow but I can appreciate its beauty as long as I am warm inside.

    I don't like it either! HA! But, we did get this storm and I had a poem to write about nature...so there you go! HA! It was pretty, but I'd rather be in the warmth any day. Thanks very much for your great review. And for your lovely compliment! Sue

Such a beautiful poem, and in such an interesting form :) I'm afraid I'm not such a fan of the snow anymore though, as I was having a snowball fight with my friends a few weeks ago and fell over, resulting in a trip to A&E :( but it's still beautiful!

Thanks for sharing your poem :)

Sue - A wonderland? It makes me glad that I live in Florida. I have shoveled my driveway too many times and dinged my car too many times when I lived up north. But I have to admit that your poem presents a beautiful description after a snow storm. And I am amazed how you can write such a nice poem in a structure style as this. I wouldn't even try. Well done. Charlie

    Oh, Hush Up!!! I don't want to hear from anyone about their "warm climates"!! Ha! I was born and raised in this el crappo and moved away years ago. Lived in Australia and Arizona. Now, back again for reasons that I could not help. Now, I'm jealous!!! Thanks so much for such a great review and compliments on this work! Thanks, Charlie....Sue

Structured poetry is demanding, both of structure and the poet's imagination.
Your trilet captures the form, tells a good story within its lines, and is easy to read.
Beautifully crafted.

What a beautiful poem. It's packed full of vivid imagery - makes me wish for snow here. It's been a few years since we've seen snow here in Ireland and your poem makes me want some. It flows really well and you've done a great job of what seems like a very difficult structure. Good luck in the contest.

Warm regards.

Roisin

this here is really great poetry writing. if their is anyone that say's different they're one hundred percent numskulls that need to learn what poetry writing is all about. it's about feelings and describing what the eyes do see. i thought your one did this and yeah your poetry writing is really superb.

I like this poem. It describes a pleasant experience; a natural masterpiece that excited humanity, inciting children to play and produce joyous cries, and inspiring the poet to write. I enjoyed the mood of the poem. kudos

The landscape sparkles ~ blinding bright
All decorated like a cake
With icing swirled and made adorn ... I see what you mean by that in the artwork. It must be really cold out there.
I think you captured this really well.
Much love,
Justmade.

Finally, the kind of sonnet I might be able to write -- but not for a contest, for sure. We rarely get enough snow here to even make a snowball so I'm envious of the scenes you paint so well in this trilonnet. Your imagery is wonderful and would stand on its own without the beautiful picture. good luck in the contest

I like this poem...I'm not sure what "made adorn"
means...I thought things were "adorned"...like
heads and churches and the Pope even...he's
adorned...adored, also...
Still, a lovely poem...well-wrought with
crystally (if you'll allow me) imagery...
Yours, Fish
