Your first lines make a lovely little poem in themselves and the full verses fill in a picture of the change of season from autumn to winter. A lovely read June for this constanza challenge. Cheers

This is unique, June..
I don't recall seeing this form.
Does it have a name?
You would need a lot of rhyming
words to build on a poem such
as this one. Well done! Nancy:)

Every season has its own beauty. We might as well embrace the winter. It will be beautiful when snow turns everything a glittering white. I enjoyed your poem.

    It won?t be long before we see tender buds again in the spring - meanwhile, we can just sit back and sip a cup of hot cocha while watching the snow fall.

You described the bleak mid winter here June where everything remains dormant until spring and it is this period of time I find difficult, but you managed to salvage a modicum of hope here, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

This work has reached the exceptional level

The Constanza is a poem form I am unfamiliar with. You have perfectly described that "Betwixt & Between" season we are now. And you have employed that challenging rhyme scheme with ease. Some great imagery, especially in stanza 3. Well done, June!
