You took a great picture and you showed us the whole process of taking the picture in this awful cold and how it all emerged into that perfect poem for the contest! Best wishes!

    Thank you, Helen. I wouldn't say it is perfect but at least I crossed that one off my list. I appreciate the review and comments.

A little sense of humor from you during this very cold weekend. It's cold everywhere right now, including Florida. Of course, I'd rather be in Florida than in the North!

I think this effort was definitely worth your time:-) Thanks for braving the cold to share it.

    Thank you Pam. I light it when folk recognize that I do have a sense of humor even when other things may not be so pleasant.

Beth, This is a truly awesome and beautiful picture you took. From looking at the picture I know your toes were really freezing. We have had low temps and snow and ice here also. Great poem to go with your picture. Best wishes in the contest. love and blessings, Teri

This was lovely, well worth your time and your creative powers. (I have a few small suggestions: yesterday's rain--and stalagmites (the stalactites come from the ceiling) I hope it wins.

    Thank you Verna. Since they are comeing down the hill rather than up, I though stalactites would be right. Thanks for the nice review an correction about yesterday's rain. Did you mean three stars or was it an accident?

I read little poetry and don't know the first thing about it. But, like prose, or general conversations, it's basically words, which consume most minutes of everyone's days and keeps us up to date on what others think and feel. Great job! Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you Ric. I perfer prose too. Don't feel obligated to read my poetry. I'm just trying to see how many of these silly contest I can enter. But thanks for the review on this one. It is unseasonably cold here in Tennessee.

Goodness me, Beth!! Is it really that cold where you live? I don't think I'll leave England, Lol. I love your poem, and, Yes, it was worth the time posting this rhyme. I loved it. But then, I'm cosy and warm indoors. Is that really your photo? That has to be soooooo cold there! :(( Love Sandra xxx

So timely. We just had a hard freeze, which by it's self is not a big deal but, our furnace went out. The necessary part won't be here until next week. Soooo - My wife and I walk in the house with layers of warm vests, coats and flannel shirts usually reserved for outside. We haven't had to put galoshes on..., yet.

Thank you for the beautiful photo and poem. The effort was definitely worth it.

I enjoyed your poem. The waterfall picture also went well with your poem. Waterfalls are always beautiful to see. Nice rhyming scheme. Well written. Great job.
