Delightful background bows to the beautiful artwork
This poem sets the mood for a delightful stroll in the snow.
This ai an excellent compliment to the cool brisk onset of the winter season. I like this poem because it compliments the wintry season and the authors smooth flow.

This is a lovely haiku describing dancing, twirling snowflakes. I also love the poem in the image you have chosen - it that yours too? Together they create a beautiful mental image and a fitting ode to an aspect of winter - good luck in the contest.

Great winter haiku. I like the alliteration of silver snow. Your cadence in this poem is very good. The lines flow together very nicely.

No one does these shape poems like you do!!! It's so good to see something from your pen this morning. It has been so hot lately that I will not, as I might usually do, complain about winter poetry in summer!!! excellent.
Your Snow Queen is charming, N!!!

    Evidently I guessed wrong BUT let me say this, the Queen of shape poetry, whom I thought you were, could not have done this entry any better! You're obviously NOT "N"?

Poet,
your poem is beautifully written. Your words paint a mental picture in the readers head. The art work you used is amazing. Your haiku is in excellent form and proper syllable count of 5/7/5. You did a great job using alliteration. I like your satori line: "snow queen applauding." I also like the personification of twirling silver snowflakes 'dancing to winter's music.' I wish you good luck with your poem titled Winter's Ballet in the Ode To Winter writing prompt contest.
Missy.
