This is an interesting poem.
I learned something. "The dead of winter" and the dates associated with it. I learned that I was born in the dead of winter.

I'm curious, were the dates a part of the poem? Was the word count a part of the poem? Was that intentional? If so, please help me understand how it added to it. I may want to try that myself. I'm pretty new at this myself.

    What you have to realize my dear poet.
    Is that everybody's work is unique.
    Just keep reviewing and keep writing you'll see it takes time.
    Thanks,

    My dear poet, I am fully are that we are all unique. That's why I was trying to understand the uniqueness when I asked were the dates a part of the poem? Was the word count a part of the poem? Was that intentional? If so, please help me understand how it added to it. I may want to try that myself.

    If everybody's style is different and the approximate word count I saw used once and I thought it would be interesting to track my work by words.
    you'll notice that this is not just one poem it's split in several.
    Several what I call.

    As you well know we're only allowed to post or present two pieces of work a day before midnight.
    but in one posting you can have as much as you want!
    As for my style I've been told it is unusual and different.
    That's because it's from a gift of tragedy from losing a son and then eight months later a wife.

    Grisham can write from the mine He's a brilliant writer.
    Stephen King loves his work so much he even stars in some of his movies with a quick role.
    But to Write from his Mind and Heart?
    To write from the Mind, Heart, and Soul?
    Is rare.
    Extremely rare.
    To do it how much is thousands of times without a hesitation.
    Is a Gift from above!
    Thanks.

    I think I understand enough to receive an answer to the actual questions I asked. Thank you so much.

    I thought I explained this to you once before I guess you didn't get the message?
    I've been here about a decade in one time I was reading a person's work and they had put an approximate word count so I do that and also we all have our individuals styles
    I am smart but I don't know everything about the weather so I googled a lot of information.

    I obviously didn't get it. I am a novice at all of this. So please forgive me. But thanks for taking the time to explain it again.

Like the flow and Dead of winter info. I've been around for sometime and didn't know that...or maybe I just forget. A fun read indeed. Thanks for sharing keep writing and reading.
