There you go Brooke; you made me smile with your gentle ode-cum-satire on winter! The format seems to work with this one too; I'm not sure of the why, but that in itself is a success :-)

Comment from Joyce L.
Yes, I have to agree with you on the weather, enough is enough. Although, the snow and ice makes for a beautiful picture when we look out, I am more than ready to move on.

Comment from teafor2
adewpearl--Excellent use of this structured form
to express a realistic and bittersweet denouement.
Artwork vividly help sums up the ending stanza and
the feelings of scribe and this reviewer. Ditto!

Thanks so much for an understanding review! Brooke
Comment from Maurice WA Johnson
Yup, you're fed up with winter OK. Loved the sentiment of the first two verses, followed by the hard practicality of the last. The form sits wonderfully with the words. Congrats, so tired of seeing the words squeezed to fit the form, it's nice to see such mastery of form.

My poems, too, have been about being tired over winter. I am just plain tired of being cold! Winter has to get over soon. I am tired of slipping and sliding and worrying about falling! It has to get over soon!!!

Comment from Johnny Carwash
It's never-ending, isn't it? Just when it starts to melt, there's another storm and another five to ten inches. It's maddening... and your poem does a great job capturing that feeling. ;-)
