HI! justjo, Your poem is right on target as far as the weather is concerned, Winter has definitely arrived, We have had winds of upto 165mph.in Scotland and the north of England coupled with heavy snowfalls. So hurry up Spring and start spreading a bit of sunshine!! PLEASE! wiljacro.

Wow! 165mph winds. Geez, I'm glad we only occassionally get snow in Texas. We do get some wind but NOT like that!! I am glad you liked my poem. The picture was taken last winter when one of our rare snowstorms hit. So far, no snow this year.
Comment from Earl of Oxford
I just wish 'winter' would forget her appointment 'time' sometimes. :-) Oh well, I guess we need it to kill off all those rotten creepy-crawlies.
Nicely put for an easy read.
Best wishes, earl

I agree, I'm not a fan of cold weather. I do think snow is beautiful for a short time. :o) The picture was taken last winter during one of our rare snowstorms (I live in Texas). Thank you for your kind review of my poem. I am glad you liked it.

Your poem, On Time, is in perfect form of 5-7-5 syllables. Your poem has a nice smooth cadence. The lines flow easily from one line to the next. I LOVE your photo.

Comment from ruzu27
Your poem (in my opinion a Haiku) creates exactly the image lots of people around the world are dreaming about these days - winter with snow, the perfect setting for Christmas.
What a beautiful scenery looking out of your window! Thank you for sharing.

Justjo66--It's almost unfair to have such a close rela-
tionship with ones muse-smile. This sparsity of words
aptly describes the status quo in many parts of the
world this time of the year. All requirements met for
the terse Japanese form. Good luck in the contest. teafor2

Thanks Rita for your kind review of my poem. This picture was taken last year. We've had a few days of really cold and one morning with snow on my car windows but not a big snow yet. :o)
Comment from Eleanor Buron
What's nice about a good brief poem is the poet has the option of adding to it and creating another poem. One short and one expanded. I like the message and the vivid imagery. I enjoyed reading your poem.
