Good imagination to become old man winters better half. You play along to make winter a wonderland instead of make it more drear than it is in normal circumstances.

Hi there,

Good rhythm and flow to the piece producing a wonderful sense of imagery and the personification is a lot of fun. I wonder if he really does have a better half. probably keeps giving him the cold shoulder!

We've been lucky this year and haven't had much of a winter over here, Janet - sorry to rub it in. ;-)

I've always found it strange that spring and summer are referred to as feminine, and rotten ole winter is male, I wonder which sex made up those definitions. ;-)

Great flow and rhymes here, and a perfect whimsy ending too.

'strange'? - not me, but I'm bonkers, too. Haha.

Excellent.

Best wishes, Ray xx

Thank you Ray for your encouraging review.
It probably was a woman who named the seasons. But...Hurricanes names are now equally male/female so maybe the seasons will get a change too.... Although...Old Man Spring just doesn't sound right. ;-)

I think 'strange' is good. haha

Ha ha, I enjoyed this. It's a fun personification of winter. I trust you aren't really telling us you husband is a frosty guy, lol.

I like the 'polar vortex' excuse. Kind of excuse my fella would come out with if he were winter!

One thing, I think windowpane is actually two separate words - 'window pane'.

Hello Jmf4119, Your poems brings a wintertime carnival to life. I especially liked:

I build ice castles by the lake
And sprinkle diamond dust 'til dawn

(Magical, whimsical)

I also liked:
I'm Old Man Winter's better half.

(Thank goodness for the better half or else we would be neck-deep in snow. I always hoped his better half was a warm sun over Miami ... darn it.)

A fun poem. Great artwork choice. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

I love when we personalize the seasons, because they do so act like humanity at times. What a cute tale, of sweeping and being old man winter's better half. What a fun read.
