-Nice artwork and
presentation, ayr.
-You wrote a good poem
about the conditions where you are.
-I like how you emphasize the word 'freezing!'
-I think the weather has gone crazy
everywhere. We are in NJ, and temperatures
went from the 70's to the 90's, and
now the last few days have been in the 50's
with lots of wind and rain!
-Hope you get rid of the snow soon.

    Thank you so much Pam for reading, reviewing and your fantastic comments. The snow lasted for a day or rather 28 hours but its been rain since then, later today and tomorrow (Monday) its supposed to be sunny. We will see.

    You are welcome. It is odd that the Dakotas can have similar weather to NJ and it's almost June!

    I still think Mother Nature has turned her back on us.

Hello my friend

Well snow in May is a bit shocking - it's meant to be warm at the very least!!! GRRRrrrr. Nicely written with some good rhyming throughout. Britain has been pretty cold up until yesterday when at last it is warming up.

Take care Pete

    Thank you so much Pete for reading, reviewing and your great comments. I truly think Mother Nature is messing with us, either that or what they are doing in China is affecting the world.

Here we go again. Every year the same - some are thrilled
but most are annoyed that winter always tries to come back.
But whether we like it or not - it is how it is. All we have to
do is getting used to it. Personally, I could join your group
but as I try not to care too much any more, it is so such easier.

    That is so true but it seemed like a good place to grip about it. Oh well, thanks anyway.

Wow! The little cool snap we're having here in Mississippi (temps in fifties and sixties) seems like summer heat compared to what you have vividly described!

    Thank you Janice for reading, reviewing and your amazing comments. This is the first time since 2015 that North Dakota has had such a cold snap. Brrr.

Thank you for this reminder to never go to these states in May! Ha! I love the flow, the rhyming scheme, and the repetition of "freezingggggg." It truly reads as if the author has chattering teeth and shivers. I also love the reptition of May and may, to show the unpredictable weather of this month. Great work!

I know the feeling, we had snow flurries last week and it is June on Tuesday! I can't believe how slow spring has been this year, before we know it, the summer will be here. I could feel the fill factor in your words here, a fine write, love Dolly x

I loved your handmade snow angel. Clever you. Yes, the weather has changed all over the world. The animals are confused. "Er, said the bear. Will I hibernate or not?" Don't worry about planting summer veggies, too cold. Crazy weather and thanks for sharing. K XX

    Thank you so much Kace for reading, reviewing and your amazing comments. I used to make cornhusk angels when I was smaller, of course someone more skilled with the knife made all the heads.

You did a great job presenting your POV, aryr. I like how you repeat the last line from the first verse. Your image is perfect, too. You described some crazy weather for sure and there seems to be no end. I enjoyed reading your poem. Your words are well thought out and very descriptive.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Hello Alie.

I sense a little satire in this poem. I found the poem very entertaining. I particularly like the last word of the last line of each stanza. Your point is very well made.

I don't have to guess what the temperature is where you are. You may have some frustrations in that word but it made me laugh.

Robert

It has been bad in UK too throughout the month. Yesterday we saw rare sunshine but today was showers. And it has been so cold often with a northerly wind. Thank goodness we are promised better from tomorrow onwards.

The chattering teeth effect of those multiple gggggg is original an effective.
