Exceptional

I think you deserve six stars for this beautiful diatelle. I expect this was quite a challenge, but the result is a very lovely poem with graphic images. Great job.

You're welcome.

This Diatelle has such a smooth flow. Starting with one syllable and ending as you started with one, I know was probably not easy. There's some alliteration of W & T words. Now, for some hot chocolate. Wonderfully written. Les

Thank you very much Les. No it wasn't easy, but worth the results.

You're an "adventurous soul" to accept the challenge of a Diatelle. I get a clear picture of snowy weekends and skiers off to the alpine lodges where they can take shelter from the storm afterwards. One slight flaw: WeatheR ends(?).

I like the shape of your diatelle. It's like a reflected snow peak. That gives great support to the lovely words in your winter holiday poem.

Hi, Treischel,
This is an excellent diatelle with good flow, rhyme, figurative language and imagery. It has a good structure.
It sets an exciting mood for the winter season.

Very well done and clever the way the rhyme scheme is set. This makes me cold which I like. I get tired to the hot, humid Florida days. We are supposed to get into the 30s this week. So far it hasn't happened. Hope you have a nice Thanksgiving. Rox

Hi Tom,

What a wonderful poem, using the Diatelle poetry form, it was a pleasure to read...Obviously I have been missing something..there is so much fun written into the lines of your poem....I'm an old gal, too old for skiing, but I do enjoy the snow..
Thanks for sharing this with us!
Hugs,
Victoria
