During this pandemic I am finding that so many are becoming cold toward others. Too much of this will cause us to have cold hearts.

I liked all the ways you brought out COLD in your poem, so many that it made me read it again. I am not a person who like the cold, so all these versions of it made me shiver. You really did a great job with this, and even though I would have prefered to be warm, I did enjoy reading your poem. Well done! :)) Sandra xxx

This poem is very well written, although I must say it's not the most pleasant thing I've ever read, and leaves me with a clear chill. The rhymes are very clever and you've covered many a situation where the word "cold" comes into play.
Because the poem is so intricately worded, I don't think the fancy font works very well with it; I would rather experience a more straightforward reading.
I do like that you put each instance of the word "cold" in boldface.
I'm not sure what's pictured in the artwork; it looks like half of one thing and half of another. Is that a cake? Is it a picture taken in a bar or tavern?
You have very successfully conveyed a complete feeling of coldness through the words of this poem!

    Thank you for Reading, Rating and Reviewing this poem offering. I just thought up cold in different contexts. I also tried to infuse gambling issues I've read about using an old Vegas gag photo at Binions LV.

I love how you made so many situations and emotions rhyme with cold. Your grey italics on grey was a little difficult to read, yet very effective in getting across the meaning of cold . I especially liked the answers when being polled. Does anyone
Get a warm fuzzy feeling from a pollster? This is like a grown up version of Mary O'Neill's Hailstones and Hallibut Bones, my favorite children's poetry book. For that you deserve a six.

Very good. The repeating of Cold as the first word in each line reinforces how cold this persons soul has become. Solid rhyme scheme, good ending, nice art work. Great job, wishing you continued success.

You did a great job with your club challenge poem. I enjoyed reading it on this cold day here--8*. I like the monorhyme and the great examples of the many uses of the word cold. Your formatting, color scheme, and image work well.
Respectfully, Jan

Very well written, I can feel the turmoil going on underneath your words, about what gambling can do to bring a person down. Cold is a good description of each of these feelings. Thanks for sharing. :)

I don't we humans fiction well whether it be in the polar extremes, high on a mountain slope, or when we are frozen out of the warmth of human contact and being wanted. You've written a superb, well ordered free verse, articulate and nicely scribed, well done, blessings Roy
