What a well-written poem filled with beautiful imagery. I love your personification of "Ms. Winter." This was the line that really stood out to me:
That sweet perfume, the scent of spruce,
the snowflakes sprinkled in her hair,
That description was great! Good luck in the contest.

Excellent. Winter has been my least favorite season and you described it perfectly. My favorite line; But this gal lacks that core of warmth. Such a true statement. Poem flows well and has even pace. Well done. Love the picture you chose. Hugh

Good job on this one. I liked the good descriptions. You really described her. And that you didn't like her very much either. Thanks for sharing! ....................,.......

-Very nice artwork and presentation.
-A very well written poem that
flows well with good meter,
imagery, and rhyme.
-You have personified winter very well,
beginning with the first two lines:
"Ms. Winter enters regally
as Duchess of the Calendar."
-There is a lot to like in this poem,
as "DiVinci chiseled marble face."
-I have no sixes to award, but this
poem is a very good contender in the contest.
-Good luck.
-One small thing you might want to check is
the word "gayety." [gaiety]

Mother Nature comes in many forms and winter is one we can not beat a grant of how something so beautiful be so cold and deadly all at the same time.
