Excellent

Poor little needs to head to a higher tree to get off the ground and stay warm for it gets cold and breezy out there they can freeze to death in a NewYork minute!

Yes, he does. Those icicles won't hurt him if he's really careful.

Comment from Barrie Godwin

Good

Some nice ideas here that conjure images and stir the senses. Suggests melancholy but also beauty. But that is winter. As for the squirrels? Their time will come. So, there's hope. That's what it meant for me but I worked a little too hard to get all those connections. Good luck.

Thank you for your comment. It's interesting to hear what others think about different pieces. Basically, all this meant was that icicles that gather on the oak trees in the forest behind my house are beautiful to me, but if I was a tiny little squirrel, they might scare me and create a hazard in my playground. Falling icicles can kill you! :-)
Thanks again for telling me your interpretation. And thanks for your comments and review. Hugs.

Hopefully the squirrels will stay in their dens and be warm, Mystery Author. You did a good job with your contest entry. The syllable count is correct per line. I like the image and your descriptive words for the 'spikes.'
Best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan

Lovely entry with a very cool photo!! Squirrels hate being grounded! "Crystal coronas", I like it! Thanks for sharing and best of luck in the 5-7-5 Contest!
