I see you are back to writing again. You sure have it right with this winter poem. One day warm, the next day sub-zero temperatures. I guess we are getting payback for the great weather at the start of winter. LOL

This is a good one. For me, short verses are the ones I compose and typically review - whetgerventered in a contest or not.

Liked the way your poem has such small lines, especially:

forever
changing
on a whim

Of course, your 'ugly claws' are not the way I see them in your illustration, but the picture does show their grotesque-like shapes (-;

    Thank you Mark. I am still looking for a better picture. I might just eliminate it all together

    I found better picture one could see claws. Maybe a better fit

    Your new one is AOK! I was not criticizing your original choice, but the iced limbs/twigs are not "ugly" in my mind. Your verse ably expressed your poetic feelings - I applaud that viewpoint.

    Unfortunately, FS strongly suggests that an illustration accompany each verse. As such, reviewers can reject (re)viewing the same before even reading the text.

I enjoyed this and the photo fits perfectly. We don't have such severe winters in Western Australia and at the moment we're in the middle of summer and trying to keep cool.

    Wow. Thank you Judy. We have had several ice storms this winter already. Many people still have no power from last week. Temperatures in the single digits Fahrenheit
