Comment from Joan E.
I enjoyed your use of the septolet form and your abundant alliteration of "w's". Even though I live in sunny, Southern California, I could feel the chill of winter. Your artwork selection was the perfect reinforcement too. Cheers- Joan

I am not looking forward to winter! You have captured the essence of winter well with your chosen words. Good complimentary picture and an enjoyable read. Faye

Thanks for sharing. The first verse is good but to me, the second verse seems rather vague; I didn't quite understand it. Maybe it's just me, I don't know. You might think about reading it over. Good luck. Jim

Comment from Smoothiecool
have to give you a four as you have posted this as a Septolet
which has seven lines and fourteen words
you have the fourteen words but you put it in six lines, easy to fix
good visual to portray message of Winter chills
good alliteration in
wintry, winds
winter's, wiles
cheers Smoothiecool
have changed star rating as now your poem has the seven lines

Comment from Capricorn30
Well-penned poem to complement the wintry vision--nice artwork;
"well-nigh hibernate"--simple to consider indoor leisure/rest when winter weather takes hold.
Nice alliteration incorporated also.
Excellent!

Very good description of winter. Lovely flow with interesting imagery: "winter's wiles" - beautifully said. Consistent rhythm. A very enjoyable poem, and the picture compliments well. Nicely done.

Thanks for a most encouraging review zanya
Comment from A_Rabe
This poem captures well my feelings on a dreary winter day. I like the alliteration at the beginning of each stanza, and the assonance between lines (e.g. wintry winds; grey leaden; skies, wiles, beguile, nigh, hibernate), and the break at the end in "hibernate".
