This ode to winter 5-7-5, Sweet Dreams, has the right set up and gives a nod to the life that sleeps beneath the 'frosted white quilts'. Nice.

Comment from Susan Larson
Beautiful as always, Yvette. I love the image of frosted white quilts, even though we don't get that much snow here in Georgia. Funny, though, in our den I have plush fluffy white throws that we snuggle under while watching tv in the winter. What a cool image!

Thank you so much, Susan - I'm actually enjoying the wonderful warming trend we've FINALLY hit down here in Dixie so this one was a bit of 'stretch' for my imagination - lol! Take care and have great upcoming week, my lady!! :) :)
Comment from thaities, Rebecca V.
Lovely picture! This ode sounds like fun, and should do well in the Ode To Winter writing contest. There is life beneath the snow. Good luck!

Comment from gingermo
The title resonates with the poem. The first line gives a sense of winter's coldness 'chilling' being the operative adjective. The second line, personifying earth is a great way to describe its hibernation and made me think of bears sleeping through winter. The third line describing the fields as frosted white quilts is a lovely metaphor. An apt ode to winter.

This is a great ode to winter contest entry, Mystery Author. Great job with the syllable count, the image, and your imagery creating words. I could see everything you mentioned.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes.

We had maybe 2 days of spring. Then. . . Friday 101*, Saturday 103*, Sunday will be 103* and Monday 103*.

Aaaaack!! But, you know, I could handle that A LOT better than the teens and the single digits... used to do some work out in Tucson (yeah, ho-o-o-t there, too!) ;) :)

Such a beautiful poem! It fits the theme of "ode to winter" excellently. Your descriptions were vivid and really fit the picture you chose. Great work with this visual beauty.

Wow, Chloe!! Your review and those stars just blow me away - thank you so much! This was one I had to reach deep for words as I'm finally enjoying the warmth of Spring! Take care out there!
Comment from Janice Canerdy
You have made excellent use of all of your syllables in this descriptive, delightful poem. Sometimes we think only of the discomforts of cold weather and don't think about how winter allows the earth torest, getting ready for the spring rebirth.

Comment from Julia Telep
This is a really beautiful poem! I love the photo that goes along with it. Just some feedback Earth in the second line needs to be capitalized! Good luck in the contest!

Comment from Drew Delaney
The last line is exactly what I think about when the word winter comes to mind. Not so much quilt, which is a great noun to use, but a blanket. Good entry! Best wishes!

Comment from patsolstad
What a stunning little piece. I notice that it is written in 5-7-5; an ode is, I believe, written to the subject. Nevertheless, I think you've done a beautiful job here, selecting the perfect word in every case. The alliteration of 'regenerative rest' is very effective, and the last line is the perfect metaphor. EXCELLENT work.

The contest definition was "Write a poem in 5/7/5 format about winter" so I thought I followed the instructions. Oh, well - I tried. Thanks much for stopping by for the review.
