This is a great presentation. I like the image you chose. With your well-chosen words, too, I can imagine the two of you relaxing and ?? in front of the fire. Thanks for sharing. Respectfully, Jan

Nicely structured, visually appealing. I like the touch at the end where it appears as if signing off a letter with love. Blustery winter and warmth and comfort and lasting love are in common use--perhaps try something fresher? Cheers. LIZ

I love the artwork and the loving image that you are creating. I read your notes and I believe you are missing a bet by not including the words "my snowman" into your poem. You could delete any number of words, maybe winter (since it's clearly winter) and maybe heavy (since people know firewood is heavy). Anyway, I would do it:
On this blustery night,
you,
covered in snow . . .
my snowman,
carrying firewood.
bringing warmth and comfort
with
your lasting love.

Or maybe just title it My Snowman. It's a sweet poem. I enjoyed it a lot.

Hello Laura,
You've written an excellent poem for the twenty word contest.
I can picture him coming through the door covered with snow.
In my younger days, that would have been me, too.
These days I stay inside and watch the snow fall.
Wonderful inclusion of the the warmth and comfort of love and the firewood.
Inviting picture to match.
Here's to Spring.
Good luck in the contest
Robert

    Thanks Robert, Your thoughtful review is appreciated and I am waiting for spring as I am an avid gardener. We still have snow and no flowers in the garden until May.

I like how you manage to sneak in some romantic love in a very serious twenty words poem. Your husband it's a lucky fellow. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

This is such a lovely scene. It always is comforting. I guess that's why so many movies recreated it. Your heart always goes Thump! Thump!
Good luck with the contest.

What a precious poem! Your snow-covered husband framed at your front door must be the picture of comfort -- even more than the warm, cozy image you've chosen for your poem. He sounds like a strong guy who takes very good care of you. Obviously you love each other very much. May God bless you both.

This is a great example of a poem that starts with a common chore of bringing in the firewood and expresses it in a creative way to add deeper meaning with your well chosen words. Thanks for sharing. Bill
