A well written and sentimental write as we worry about someone not able to get home because of bad weather, a cleverly rhymed poem and a joy to read, love Dolly x

Well written and so easy to relate to, this poem speaks to the terror we suffer as we worry for those we love, who may be in danger. I have felt the feeling many times, and I found your words perfectly capture what it means to go through this type of worrying.
The picture is an amazing accompaniment to the poem. You did an excellent job.

You perfectly repeated this line "On nights like this..." to where it made the situation seem more and more urgent with each stanza. I can see the fret in the woman's face building.

PenPal: I can picture how scared the lady is for Claus in this weather. I've been in freezing rain and it's difficult to walk even for my four legged dogs. You have a great flow of words and rhymes. Wonderful!

    There is nothing worse than being caught outside when it's sleeting and there's black ice on the highway. I am so pleased you could picture the scene I described. Many thanks for the marvelous rating and kind praise. Rod

A well crafted entry for this repeating line poem contest. You have blended the repeat line well so the poem flows smoothly.
We all worry when our loved ones are late returning, even Mrs Claus.
Good luck in the contest.

    Worrying is almost second nature to a mother and a wife during inclement conditions. I am so pleased you enjoyed my poem and appreciate the kind praise.

Beautifully done quatern! And you used that repeated line effectively because worries do repeat themselves in our minds. We definitely worry when loved ones are traveling in dangerous conditions. Best wishes in the contest!

I think you did a great job of capturing this feeling of worrying about someone you care about. You brought in all these specific things like slipping on the ice, losing control of the car, and that made it so much more tangible. estory

    I am so pleased you think I captured the anxiety a wife feels when her husband is late coming home during bad weather. Thank you very much for your kind praise.

The author's words are engaging, meaningful, clear and creative. I pondered on the times the weather was bad and I waited for my sons.
The repeating of the lines made this poem more intense. The poem
flows and connects well. Hope you had a great day!

A very well done Quatern. I like the form when it involves a repeating line. It seems to emphasize the message. I love the picture you have connected to this piece it is so apt, as are your well chosen words.
