Hi JMF,

If you are Winter's better half, I'm thinking that must make you Summer. :) Or at least more temperate than he is. I enjoyed your personification piece, with its great rhyme and fun verse. Darn that 'Polar Vortex' anyways! :) Great job!

Keep warm!

this is fun and tells a long Winters Tale, I love the form and the words are so pretty that we get the story of snowflakes and the cold. Its Summer here is Australia so nice to feel the difference between the strong heat we are having here.

LOL A whimsical swipe at old man winter while promising better things when you (summer) come into full bloom. You definitely are the better half and we will all welcome you...the sooner the better! Thanks for this lift....Dennis

Hi Janet:)
Great animation of 'Old Man Winter' and his better, and gentler half. Thank God that 'She' holds him in check, melting away 'His' snow and slush while providing welcome glimpses of spring'

I like the easy flowing abcd rhyme scheme in your four quatrains. This should be another six for perfectiom, but I am running out, but you still get my love and Irish Hugs,

Roger

This is a cute, and the details were pulled me into this piece. I like how your words painted the scene for me, as I read. The photo was a nice choice too.

Happy Writing,

Lynn
