You write great descriptions, unknown author. One of my favorite descriptions is this one "The lawn is sugar-powdered now." This line captures so well the melancholy of the season.

Your poem is skillfully-written and vividly descriptive, painting a picture of
the snow, which has the park lying in wait for spring, when people will once again visit.

Very nicely done. You've set a vivid picture with words. I especially like the food metaphors (of course). Competition will be tough, but you should do well. Best of luck.

Well done. A lovely picture of a park at this time of year. Brings a feeling of loneliness and nostalgia as you remember the summer days when park was busy. Good luck in the contest.

I can remember in NY in 2010, we frolicked in the snow in NY Central Park, with grandchildren, but you're right, winter discourages children playing outside, that as a cold, but lovely day. This is divinely written with iambic tetrameter and abab rhyming, well done, good job,, blessings Roy
