Exceptional

Wow,Debbie, this is beautiful! I am so enthralled with this poem - I must copy it for my keeper file, with your permission of course. "fenceposts topped with ice cold caps" and "chilled ballerinas" and "wintertime mirror" - heck, I'd better stop or I'll be re-writing the whole thing!

Hi Debbie, I think haiku/senryu suite should be renamed haiku/senryu epic. This was crafted with the skill level of a samurai words woman, wow I got giddy counting syllables, a truly mammoth.a task done to perfection. May your Christmas turn out as good as this poem,I will then know you have had the best. Kindest admiration James xx
This is the only way I could show you ****** if you had them available,they definitely would be here!!

'neath snow laden trees
moonlight reflects icy crust
wintertime mirror

Beautifully written Debbie. You highlighted all of the ever present times of winter and made sure we didn't miss a one. Sigh.

autumnal palette erased

fence posts topped with ice cold caps

scalloped drifts line icy roads

nighttime mystery

These are beautiful colorful descriptions.

each stanza in this suite is in good 5/7/5 form except the very last one where col/or/ful/lights/twink/le is 6 syllables
gorgeous descriptive detail throughout - for instance, I love the scalloped snow drifts
nice touches of alliteration in phrases like cold caps and fresh fallen
fresh-fallen hexagons - add the hyphen
so many vignettes that perfectly capture the essence of winter :-) Brooke

Oh, Brooke, I thought I changed that to colored, but for some reason it won't let me. Then I tried to put a note that I knew it was wrong. It wouldn't let me do that either. It won't seem to let me edit anything at all> I finally decided to let evil eddie have his Christmas joke on me. Hope you are having a good one~Debbie

First flakes gently land

primi fiocchi delicatamente atterrare
tavolozza autunnale cancellati
fioriture invernali da caduta
 
sempreverdi coperti
recinti condita con calotte di ghiaccio freddo
neve decorazione
 
raffiche di vento vivacemente
twirl esagoni fresca caduti
ballerine refrigerati
 
gelo crea vetro acidato
nevischio vento guidato sfilate strade
bagliore camino accolto
 
auto negoziare
derive scalloped linea strade ghiacciate
il caos creato
 
giorni corti con lunghe notti
apprezzamento giovani innamorati
mistero notturno
 
"Neve alberi carichi di Neath
chiaro di luna riflette la crosta ghiacciata
inverno specchio
 
strilli e risate sentito
bambini pattinare sul laghetto ghiacciato
Natale vacanza
 
bianco diventa grigio sporco
un ulteriore livello scende
mondo è di recente purificato
 
luci colorate brillano
pini vestito per la stagione
vacanze sono qui

I have to admit, when it comes to poetry - it's all foreign to me.

Thanks for sharing this lovely poem and please have a Happy Holiday. JW

Jonathon, thank you so very much. I wish you tour best and give your dog an extra pat on the head for me. Take care, my friend~Debbie

The rather cursive writing can be a bit hard to read especially the 's'. That aside, the descriptive prose of the season of Christmas is so beautiful. the imagery concise and radiates some natural forms of beauty inherent in the winter scene. Start of the snowflakes, laughter and merry making, lovers night out and the mood is just right. Good expression, prose, and excellent imagery description. Cheers.
