This is really good. It is a hard type of poem in my opinion. But you nailed it. It even made sense. I attempted this and the first try I was not successful. I did not fully meet the requirements. I had to redo it.
Anyway, this was great. Keep up the great work.

    I did too. My first attempt was wrong as a reviewer pointed out, I was grateful for her advice. Thank you for reading my poem. :)

You use the literary techniques well. Your alliteration becomes onomatopoetic sounding like the wind. This poem needs to be read aloud. Your animation will draw the reader in to identify or to experience it vicariously or viscerally.

Hello anonymous

Great entry for the Tyburn poetry contest. Good syllables count and connection between lines. You followed the rules with excellent word choices. It flows pretty good. Good luck in the contest.

Brrrrr! Winter does seem to hang on doesn't it? Love your poem and the picture you chose. Definitely seems to sum up winter's grip! I can not wait until spring. Six stars!!!

Oh, Winter can not be done soon enough! ;) Your syllable count is well done, but your first lines do not all rhyme: coldness does not rhyme with the other three words... I would be happy to re-review when you've re-worked it... ;) :) Thanx for sharing and good luck! ;)

Your animated image works great with your poem, Mystery author. Your words flow well. I know the contest rules state 'near rhymes'. However, I believe coldness isn't one. I'll let the CEC judge that one.

May I suggest:
Snowing,

Growing.

Coldness, [ blowing ]

flowing.

Winter hangs on, snowing, growing high,
winds from the north, coldness flowing by. [ flowing blowing by ]
Best wishes, Jan

Oh, awesome! You tried the Tyburn. I was too chicken to do it. Seems rather difficult, but yours turned out great.

Best of luck in the contest.

Cheers!
