Very clever entry, with a lovely presentation. Your last line is well thought out, and the poet use alliteration very nicely. This should do well in the contest.

A very well-written nature 3-5-3 poem. The untimely snowflakes falling will postpone the beginning of Spring that cannot goes on because of the snowfall instead of warmer temperatures.

Interesting looking weeds. At least, I guess they're weeds, I'm not really sure.
I can tell you this much. I have never seen them around here as far as I know. They look like a mutated dandelion.
Good syllable count, nicely presented.
Best of luck to you in the contest.

I enjoyed this 3-5-3 on nature. With haiku-like words, you create a picture of tarrying, stalling winter. The imagery is one of enchantment and wonder.

As a 3-5-3, this poem may lose votes or be disqualified for being written in four lines of 1-2-5-3. Although I love the falling snow flake effect, I would err on the side of caution by following the contest rules. I have had too many of my poems disqualified from contests for not following rules to the T.

You poem is well alliterated and rhymed.

Thank you for sharing. I wish you contest success.

Yes, when two or more reviewers say the same feedback, I change. I am glad I helped.

This is very good but needs one correction
I know you wanted the visual for free-falling
but it makes the poem four lines
Otherwise it is excellent with fine imagery, rhymes, alliteration
and gorgeous art work
Good luck in the contest

A good decision. I've seen poems DQ'ed for extra lines, even though it was a very good idea.

Your words create a clear picture of nature and the snowflakes are like characters full of life. I love your last line "spring stalling". It shows that spring is far away and the snow is here for awhile. Excellent 3-5-3 form.
