Wow, this is gorgeous. I'm a lover of winter and this scene grabs me. It's one I would put on my wall. The poem is lovely and I'm sure, very true since there's no, or at least not many, trees to break the wind. Well done.

This nature 3-5-3, Desolate Plains, has the proper formatting and takes the readers to the truly remote and unforgiving plains .

Your photo/poem combo convince me I don't want to be out on the plains in the winter. An excellent selection of words to set the scene and create mood: DESOLATE, WILD, MOANING. Rod

A succinct use of language. The words themselves sound cold. The flow is good and the guidelines are met. The picture adds to the feel of the poem.

A good read. Good presentation. Thanks for sharing. Good luck.

Your poem and that desolate photo made me shiver - I could feel the chill you described so well. 'Birth' and 'moaning' personalise the poem very effectively.
