Hi 60's kid!

Beyond the fact that I enjoyed reading your poem, I found the structure interesting. I've seen the usual sonnets with three quatrains and a couplet, or two sextets and a couplet, but I don't think I've ever seen four triplets and a couplet. Another thing I noticed was the rhyming of each line with its corresponding line in the other verses. Pretty tricky.

Wonderfully done! Did the three lined verses need to rhyme too? I noticed your did... and very nicely, not forced. Great descriptions throughout.

Thanks for sharing,
I wish you well in the contest.

To me, this format was executed perfectly throughout. After careful consideration of all the rules of the format, I see you handled well the rhyming scheme, the correct number of lines and triplets, plus the ending rhyming couplet.The use of iambic tetrameter measure was also well done. If I had a sixer, I would award.

Hi Six,

I love poems about snow. I love to see it frosting the trees and rooftops with thick layers of white. So peaceful.

Reminds me of days gone by when I lived in NYC. Today I live in Palm Springs, CA, 85 today, lovely smell of flowers and someone is mowing the lawn. The ying and the yang.

Hugs,
Gayle

Nicely written and you definitely fulfilled both the trilonnet form and the contest specifications. Nice imagery -- I could feel the snow under my feet and in my hands as I read it. Well done.

"Morning Glory" is one of the nicest poems I've read about a blizzard. Beautifully written and reads so smooth from beginning to end. Well done.

The imagery in this is quite good and strong. Good use of simile ("like sculptures carved" and "like a cake.") Although I find this form somewhat contrived (which is no reflection on you, but on the person who invented the form), you execute it well. You follow one of the rhyme schemes well. Excellent juxtaposition of picture and poem.
