Kudos in describing my New England world just as it is today! I forget in the frustration of scraping snow of windshields and spreading ice melt and shoveling--but gosh, it's beautiful! (Especially from the inside looking out--warm cocoa in hand!)--True to form and enchanting!--Karenina

Thank you Karenina for your thoughtful and encouraging review. It is much nicer looking out at the snow and ice than being out in it. :))))

When we moved out of our house and into an apartment we were sad... Then winter came and we sat inside while the groundskeepers shoveled and salted and plowed. Hmmm. There's a good side to everything!--Karenina

You are so right Karenina. My daughter just moved into an apt and she thinks the same thing. :))))

There is always a silver lining to these things... No shoveling is worth its' weight in silver for sure!--Karenina
Comment from royowen
This is an excellent suite of Tankas Janet, this works so well, they are cleverly arranged as a multi stanzad work to describe so beautifully, a winter's scene, an image held captive by beautifully arrayed words, well done, blessings Roy
Just saying Janet, a shard is a broken something, a shattered glass, ceramic bowl, a rock, it can reflect light, but not be light. Maybe flash, or glimpse.

Hello, Janet,
We share the love for Tanka. Your entry for the Tanka Poetry Contest is absolutely beautiful. Rich in imagery of nature. Good syllables count and connection between lines. Well done. Good luck in the contest.

What's this? A crown of Tanka's? LOL This is very well done my dear. Not a fan of short Japanese forms I'm afraid but I do like what you have done here. Good job. Good Luck! Nancy:)

Comment from ExperiencingLiphe
We only have one car so I walk to work most days. The best days to walk are the ones right after it snows. Everything is so pretty and white and perfect. You did this justice. Great job.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Some fine descriptive words here, shards of light, buttery sun and hoary white are my favourites, from Autumn into the winter chill and I tasted the hot chocolate and felt the warmth in your closing lines, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Comment from Dana Starr
I have to admit the artwork drew me to your poem. It's a beautiful picture and looks very much like what I'm seeing right now as I look out my own window in snowy, freezing Texas. I really liked your piece. I could do with some buttery sun and hot chocolate. Best of luck in the contest.

Thank you Dana for your lovely and encouraging review. I'm so pleased that you liked it.
We expect the snow and ice in the north. I didn't realize that Texas got that kind of weather sometimes too. Stay safe and warm.

Comment from Wendy G
Very beautiful writing, lyrical, and vivid imagery. I could almost be there, walking on the crunchy snow. I love the "buttery sun", as a contrast to the harsh whiteness of the rest of the scene. Good wishes for the contest.
