Growing up and living most of my adult life in Minnesota, winters have a tendency to be long. At the same time, I enjoy all the seasons and that includes winter. The words in your poem are accurate and sincere. I have never ridden a horse during the winter but I imagine it would be a very positive experience. Good luck in the contest.

You have made excellent use of all your syllables in this frosty 5-7-5
about winter's breath. "Affirmation of life" is an apt description of that vapor that we emit into the air.

This poem made me think of all the times I blew my breath in the cold air like smoke. With all this hot weather breaking forth, I needed to be reminded of the joys of winter once more, until winter comes and I yearn for summer again lol.

A very well-written 5-7-5 poem about the winter cold that causes us to make breathing smoke as we call it here. We are in the beginning of our winter and we are bvreathing smoke in the mornings.

Dear Mystery Poet,

Wow. You know, I've never really thought of it like that. Silly me. This makes for a fun and delightfully imaginative post and a smart message. Love the image, too. Thanks and good luck!

I like how Winter 5-7-5 because it reminds me of something I take for granted in that season--seeing my breath. Indeed, when it's cold that vapor IS an "affirmation of life." rod
