This is a wonderful tribute to the beauty of winter storms. I am definitely looking forward to Spring but I can't deny the beauty of freshly fallen snow

In this sonnet we're told that though Spring is wished for Winter is still around, and a storm is brewing. But then the Speaker urges us to revel in Winter's beauty, the "lovely art show though it is short-lived. I like your traditional Shakespearian sonnet structure and especially your closing couplet.

Hopefully, we are getting ever close to that 'last hurrah'- as winter days count down to Spring - a celebration of the wintry season and a super visual to illustrate -b-r-r-r !

    I can't wait for spring because right now it's 15 below out with a 34 below wind chill! Minnesota...am I right? Thanks so much for reading. :)

Well written, good rhyming and easy to read. We are now through one week of February, and though we know there will be more storms, we look forward to spring. I like your closing lines: "With joy we still anticipate the Spring, while we enjoy the magic winter brings."

Well done, mysterious sonnet writer!

I really enjoyed your free flowing sonnet...as for me sonnets often feel contrived and awkward...yours did not.

I enjoyed your imagery and rhymes and overall message.

Thank you,

AnnaLinda
