Hi Donna -
I really enjoyed your double etheree. I do love the Etheree form and chose to write them often. A double is all the better.

You've employed some subtle cross rhyme and just create and overall pleasing image with your words.

Great job!

Kim

This double, flip flop etheree, White Scars/Black Scars, has the proper formatting for this pairing and creates the scene where the glistening snow ebbs away and the stark, still-stifled trees emerge.

Wow. This is absolutely beautiful. Incredible dichotomy between the white and the dark landscapes. I love the description of the white scars as the backs of elders' hands. That is very clever. Thank you for writing this beautiful imagery.

Hi Dove,

This is a lovely poem about the transition from the starkness of winter to springtime's renewal of all life. Great contrast you make here. Thanks for sharing. Jan :-)

I like your description of the coming of spring as the land thaws and the snow melts. Good choice of images in this writing which is well done. Thanks for sharing.

Beautifully written. You've used such beautiful, descriptive words in this poem and each has added to the beauty of the whole story. Did you mean to write "snow with ice floes"? Or did yo mean "flows" I loved this poem. Good luck.PM

    Dear PM, Thank you for your comments and review. I meant Floes, that is how it is spelled when you're referring to ice. Dove

    Thank you, I have learnt something today. Possibly the word is foreign to me because it doesn?t snow where I live and any snow I?ve ever seen in my adult life has been man made. Great poem though. PM
