Wow, this is really clever, Rod! I see that it didn't win the contest. :( I think it should have. "lace stoles and skirts of ice Winter's cover girls" ... I thought that was brilliant!

Great job!

Cheers,
Connie

This tree-hugger 5-7-5, Fashion Debut, has the right set up and finds the beauty in the brutal, clinging ice. Weathered and weary trees wear it as raiment of the reigning season.

What a great contest entry! Your poem was exceptional in personifying the fir trees in a winter forest. The last line 'Winter's cover girls' was so clever. I fell in love with this line, 'in lace stoles and skirts of ice'. Beautifully written and illustrated contest entry!

Now I really like this one. You create a beautiful image with your lace stoles and skirts of ice. Winter's cover girls is right. They are beautiful.
Although I have not read all of the entries, this is probably the winner. Good luck.

Dear Anonymous Poet,

Thank you for sharing your entry in the Tree-Hugger 5-7-5 contest. Your work is well balanced and you chose a great piece of artwork to complement the words - OR did you find the picture first?

I wish you luck in the contest - I've read over a dozen entries today - a lot of them are quite good,

~Mustang Patty~
