You have certainly relayed the feeling of loss and isolation in this poem. Great contrast of lighted homes and the misery of cold in the snow. Good work and good luck in comp.

This rondeau, Alone I Walk, is set up well and is so very expressive of the terrible loneliness that fills the vacancy in a severed relationship.

thank you for sharing your rodeau for the poetry contest. Your poem reads well and though it made me sad, I could relate to the lines. You did a great job of constructing the poetic form and I wish you well in the contest,

Very nice rondeau form. You have chosen an excellent repeating line that adds to the overall melancholy of the theme. Excellent opening line

Alone I walk into the winter bite

It sets up the chilly mood for the poem.

Excellent presentation including the blue to add to the chill.

Best of luck in the contest.

This work has reached the exceptional level

The strength of this poem is its delicate, beautiful imagery. The message of loneliness at Christmas comes through clearly but the imagery makes the sad experience unique to the speaker.

Dear Mystery Poet,

A sad and sober scene you've set for us, and I think most of your readers will be able to relate to the feelings created here, if not the exact situation. Lovely! I wish you the best of luck in the voting!! Great job!

The reminds me of "all alone on Christmas" song by Darlene Love. Like the flow of the poem, the picture, background and font colors add value to the content of the poem.
I wonder why there is need of three dots in "Alone...I walk".

    The dots (ellipsis) is to give a bit of a pause and emphasize loneliness of the walker. Thank you for your read and your comments.

Snowflakes swirl in sallow moonlight
Fireplace flames dance on windows' iced
Tears frozen where you kissed my cheek
My heart in such pain that I want to shriek
Lovers at home share Christmas delights
Alone...I walk
This is beautiful good luck in the competition with this gorgeous write which reminded me so much of Christmas even then we are not shielded from heartbreak,in fact it is often worse at that time. kindest regards meiax

This speaks the feeling of sorrow, unhappiness, isolated walk all the night in show on the Christmas night when the family afar enjoys the festival at home; I liked.
