Very fine command of the form and excellent vocabulary choices. Picturing the red cardinal against the background is a nice contrast. I also liked the bending of pine boughs.

Comment from JLR
Hi friend and county neighbor. Each and every time e I read one of your tanka's, I see the ownership in delivering a very technically precise piece of work, but always with a free flowing narrative which provides your readers a snapshot of present moment thought and live experience. Very good luck in the booth, but you know this is already a winner. Thanks for sharing your talent.

Comment from QC Poet
Seems a different or off format from the linked construction and stated note format description, it just to great of a scenery description intertaining ride to bother with technical judging. Thanks I'll make a note to reread and learn the formatting better. Blessings to you.

Each one of your tanka pivots beautifully on its middle line. You seem to have generalised winter in the first half of each tanka and personalised it in the second. I imagine this will do well in the contest. It certainly deserves to.

Jmf,
This is a great poem, stressing the good points of winter, instead of the bad. The last stanza expresses the coziness in this time of year as you mention hot chocolate and. Fireplace. I really liked this poem.
Good luck in the contest.

Hello Janet!
Goodness!
How I wish I had six stars to affix on this exceptionally well-crafted tanka suite.
Each stanza is a stunning poem unto itself. And in each, the pivot line is superb.
Beautifully and creatively rendered!
Best Wishes!

Comment from Janice Canerdy
Your tanka suite is skillfully-written and vividly descriptive, conveying an appealing message about nature and human nature. Even as we enjoy gazing upon beautiful winter scenes, we're thinking ahead to the warmth indoors!
