Excellent entry for the Name writing prompt Contest. You grasped the form well. Nice presentation. Your descriptive words of winter flow well expressing clear mental imagery.
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Rosemary Everson1
Definitely feel the cold winter in this poem. And there's more to come as we are expecting inches and inches of snow today through Thursday. It is fun for the children to play in the snow, like the image and poem.

To be truthful, I am not a snow lover. When a person gets elderly, the word snow is not a good thing.
Comment from lancellot
Very nice. This has the feel on a short introduction to a larger adventure story from long ago. I think there is a story seed here. If you want, you could expand on this.
A solid contest entry. I wish you luck in the voting.

Thank you, lancellot, for sharing my poem and your suggestion. Yes, I can see a longer story waiting to be written.
Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
This poem uses excellent high-toned vocabulary that creates an impression of times gone by. This blends well with the subject of the poem, telling as it does of innocent winter fun. Much enjoyed. kay

Comment from Wendy G
Very nice! I enjoyed this nostalgic poem, with memories of past childhood fun and games during winter. It's a different story when bones ache with the cold. I enjoyed the flow and the alliteration.
Best wishes for the contest.

Indeed there is a difference when you view Winter from the perspective of a youth or a old man. Many thanks for sharing and praising my poem, Wendy.

Thank you for your acrostic Alliterette poem. It is delightful to read. It is so true that winter snows are best enjoyed as boisterous youth rather than those of us with "brittle bones." Best wishes in the contest!

I loved this acrostic poem. Winter seems a common theme in this competition.
Apologies for repeating your own words but your poem is nostalgic as well as descriptive.
I enjoyed reading it.

Comment from Brandon Clark
Excellent use of the prompt. Winter can produce some really great memories, especially the ones from when we were kids and didn't "feel" the cold so much, as long as we were having fun!
Nice job! I really enjoyed reading it,
Brandon

You chose a nostalgic illustration for your acrostic poem that was well-formatted. In addition, the text is of good size and easy to read. I remember looking for a sturdy carrot for a snowman nose. Ah, nostalgia!
Thanks for writing.
