Hi Mark,
This is a nicely done ekphrastic poem inspired by the artwork. It is a Winter scene that could be on a Christmas Card.
Hope it did well in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Enjoy you weekend and Happy Holidays.
Joan
P S I would like you to know that I just published a book titled "The Interloper and other stories in prose and poetry". It is available on Amazon.com. There is a link to it at the bottom of my profile page or you can go to Amazon.com and search The Interloper Joan Pechter.

Joan,

I saw your book. I have two younger siblings - my brother is #2 and my sister is seven years younger than me.

I too have an ebook. You can see on Amazon as: Animals Become Chatty. Its audience is 2-10.

Thanks your review and comments about my poem. I use FanArt illustrations for almost all my posts. Normally I write first, then find the artwork to pair with it.

Happy holidays to you too.

Mark

This haiku, Lodge Near Arctic Circle, has the proper formatting and imagines the lone home in the middle of a grove of hard-to-find-..together trees.

I'm so impressed by the quality and variety of the winter haiku contestants. The visual image of the icicles stretching down and the reindeer browsing is so fantastic and cozy. gayla
