I always find it hard to use 150 characters to review a short poem. I found this one to be particularly skillful. What more can I say than, "I get it."

    Here is what I do:
    This 1-6-1 poem, Rime, has the proper syllabic formatting and is skillfully put together. I get that RIME has multiple meanings here...........

Bill,
Thank you for this poem; I learned a new word. There is a lot of "rime" in my part of the country in winter.
The photo you provide gives an accurate definition of rime. It makes me shiver.
I like your words, "I'm frozen and lost to time." The house looks as though it was preserved from a time long ago, or "lost" as you put it.
I like this poem very much,
Good luck in the contest,
Blessings,
Cindy

Oh, gosh, Bill, one has to wonder which came first, the poem or the artwork.

Based upon the artwork, you are literally frozen in time, at least until the snow melts.

Excellent usage of minimalism and rhymes.

Good luck in the contest.

Nice picture. This is why I am not fond of snow. To many blizards in my past growing up.

I understand the cold leaves you stuck unable to move on and so you are as you were when it first fell and hardened.

After reading the piece I went on to familize myself with the word "rime" as I was not sure if it was spelled right having not really known the word. As I did this it made the piece stand out to me more. Stuck and unable to move on both physically and emotionally.

Very clever. I'm glad you included the definition of rime. It wasn't a word I'd come across before, but it describes the current polar vortex in my community well. Nicely done and good luck in the contest.

I am so thankful you defined rime for me because I had no idea
how it fit in this poem until I read your author's notes. To be
honest, I thought maybe you were doing a spin on the word
rhyme. Good picture to go with your 1-6-1 poem. Good luck in
this contest.

Plenty of rime ice there. I like how the photograph you chose complements your poem. The rime ice stops time completely. Very well composed. Don and Vicki.

-Good artwork and presentation.
-Thanks for the note, too.
-The syllable count is good,
along with the topic and rhyme.
-I like how you take on the
persona of the house and
create a vivid word picture
with a few words.
-Without the picture, it would
still make a good poem because
of the second line lending itself
to one's imagination.
-A very good entry; good luck.

Your piece is whole lot better now. You've chosen a great picture to accompany it. The rhymes fit perfectly. Again, I wish you the best of luck in the voting.
