solid use of rhyming couplets
effective question to engage the reader
good alliteration in stops/sinking/snow
hunters' ugly deed - add apostrophe for possessive
a powerful message in poetic form :-) Brooke

Mary; I enjoyed your poem about the snow leopard very much as it was written very well except for some of the meter and tempo was off that's if you wanted the rhythm to be smoother. The topic and concept were terrific and the imagery that you displayed with very demonstratively descriptive and exquisitely expressive throughout. Just talking about the paws being that so they can walk on the snow and being high up in the mountains so they could be far away from man and other predators. Good luck in the contest and thank you for sharing and posting and may you have a Merry Christmas.

Very smartly written, Jackarrie. I very much enjoy the inclusion of facts about these wondrous cats. They truly are majestic animals.

Nicely done, you.

Very good subject to write about. They are interesting and found as you say high in the Asia mountains. Like to feed on goats, especially the young. Best to you.

    Thanks Ben for the excellent review. I did not know about the goats, aw the poor things. But this the reality of life in the wild. Mary

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is an extremely interesting poem about snow leopards that the author has created with this piece of work. I have heard so much about these heavenly creatures, but nothing in the way of hard facts. You have filled the gaps with this poem. Well done.

Mary, all mention of snow leopards reminds me of Hwmingway's The Snows of Kilimanjaro and that frozen carcass at the summit. I like your piece a lot. It brings back find memories of carefree college days.
