Emotive, for certain. Something only appreciated when warm and comfy. Think of the personnel in professions that work around the clock and in all weather, and our military.
Nicely done, you can be well satisfied with this posting.

Thank you for this great review, I really appreciate it. :)
Comment from Rosemary Everson1
How quietly the snowflakes fell,
cold beauty on display.
The trees caught every errant flake,
lest they should go astray
Like your poem about snow and snowflakes falling.
Snowflakes are wonderful artistic cutouts for children in school.
Many of them cut out snowflakes from construction paper; they are as big and gorgeous as a live snowflake.

This poem is right on! It meets all of the contests requirements and is well done from cadence to words. The picture is the perfect accent and is lovely. I'm thinking it will do very well in the contest. ann

Comment from Anne Johnston
Well done on this description of the first snowfall. So many pleasures to enjoy when the first snow comes. Today is the first day of winter, and we just have a bit of snow on the ground.

Comment from Lloyd T. Okoko
The objective correlative of the poem reminisces the first incursion of snow and how it embroidered the environment with snowflakes.
The work highlights the all pervading nature of the snowflakes and their being bereft of colours, having yet to be untainted by the children's ply on it.
The work earns its texture through its effective use of imagery.
Excellent work. Bravo.

Your animated image and color scheme are perfect for your poem, Mystery Author. Your rhymes work well, there's smooth flow, and great examples of how your feel about the first fallen snow.
Best wishes in the contest.
Respectfully, Jan

Comment from RodG
What stands out most in this First Snow poem is the Speaker's TONE--her glee at experiencing snow falling. I especially like your description of silence in stanza #4. Because this is a contest entry, you might want to tweak your rhythm/meter in lines 19, 22, 23, 24, 25.

Thank you for reading my poem and for the good advice. I'll look it over, but I've never really gone by meter/rhythm when writing my poetry. Thanks again for this nice review. :)

Tradition plays a major role in the kind of poem you wrote. It has a definite rhyme scheme and, for the most part, a definite stanza forma of 4/3/4/3. You just have to be consistent. In free verse, you can do almost anything you want to. Rod
