Excellent chapter for our Renga Book. The Renga form has the right renga composition. Beautiful presentation. Good syllables and connection between lines. Thank you for participating in our book with such a beautiful verse.

This is a nicely written part to the book and I enjoyed reading it very much. In the winter when it is windy and the icy snow flows about us it can be very distressing, but it is beautiful when it covers the ground. Patricia.

I like the overall scene being described here, but I have trouble accepting how you phrased line 1. The snowflakes are not "windy," but scattered by the wind. May I suggest rephrasing the line thus: WINDBLOWN icy flakes

    Another suggestion: you might consider changing the order of line 1 to: ICY WINDBLOWN FLAKES to emphasize how cold they were.
