Love to hear the tinkling of icy branches.5 total reviews
Comment from Mark Jackson
Absolutely beautiful, very hard to write a lot about a form which is so succinct. I love the branches etching the sky and your final line is simply wonderful.

Thank you again for the stars and the review.
Comment from Rachelle Allen
The musician in me can imagine this sound well, and it is, indeed, a tinkling symphony.
But way back in 1991, here in Rochester, we awoke on March 1st to an ice storm of epic proportion. Instead of a lovely tinkling symphony, the sounds that filled the air that day were painful moans from the trees as the ice weighed down their branches and caused SOO, so many to split. So moaning and crackling were the sounds du jour. I like YOUR tinkling symphony way better!! xo

Yes, I also recall when the ice ladened trees creaked and moan and some unfortunate branches fell to the gorund. I too like the tinkling music better. Thanks for the feedback.

This is a well-crafted poem. Your poem reads and flows well. Good personifications in your second and third lines. Your 5-7-5 syllable count is in good order. Nice accentuating picture.

This was a good "ode to winter" 5-7-5. You got the syllable count right, and you chose your words well. I could practically hear the tinkling with that last line. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Your poem describes vividly what I detest most in Winter--ice storms that coat the trees. But, Poet, I commend you for seeing and hearing the beauty of such an occasion. Rod
