This poem of winter, Winter Ecstasy, is a racy, first-person monolog of what sounds like the sexual conquest of the season. The land is definitely his, in this hot, yet cold seduction. Nice poem.

I like the way you personified winter and made us see winter like a lover in tryst with a beloved. The personification quite consistent in each line of the poem and quite effective in painting the image to the readers. Thanks for sharing an excellent write. God bless.

Full of winter/sex metaphor. Good meter and verbiage. Fairly well done and readable without a lot of thought commitment.

-I like the photo very much.
-Well written with good meter and rhyme.
-I would say you personified winter very well, making it like an impassioned lover, an interesting concept.
-The imagery was good, and developed the poem, too.
-The poem begins with Winter's objective:
"To take the warmth now from your soul"
- A few that stood out for me are:
* "I'll take my time to make you cold"
* "For I'll return one Winter's night
Reclaim your soul and hold you tight."

Sounds like a cold heart-ed person
stealing warmth from your soul
curl your toes with freezing sin
I'm not quite sure how anyone would "melt"
Winter numbs all your senses
till you can't feel a thing
But at least he'll be gone for three seasons out of four
I suggest a trip to Florida next year
leave winter behind
Very good story
Good luck in the contest

    Hi rspoet Thanks for you great review and yes I did take a bit of poetic licence to create Winter in this light, but I hoped it worked as a story and glad you thought it a good one. It came Third which was fun. Also can I thank you for you lovely support for my work since joining FS. I always respect your comments. so a big Cheers to you and Merry Xmas and have a great New Year. Christine 😃

Thanks God someone on FS used the word ecstasy apart from me!
I thought no one else had this feeling like I have experienced many times.
[except for sex that is lol] I am using this word metaphorically.
I enjoy the poem and its relation to winter, it's good you enjoy it so much.
[I would lose the pink background, makes it look very dull indeed]
Nice story, hope you win. [I have read the other entries though, its a tough challenge out there for this contest!!]

Jan

I really like this. You did a good job personifying winter and you've taken it a step further than others I've read.

Winter as a lover - how unique and clever! Well done. Hugs, Lou

    Hi Dorothy My grateful thanks for reading my Winter poem entry and I hope it was not too over the top suggestive but just had enough hint of the erotic theme to do it justice. Cheers so much for your support and a very Merry Xmas to you and your too . Christine x😃

This work has reached the exceptional level

I have to be careful handing out the six stars but I just cant resist. It is the style, meter and rhyme style that I personally prefer and it is executed perfectly. First time through no stumbles with words or meter and the feeling flowed the whole way. This is one that the only reason I am going to read it a second time is for pure enjoyment.

Third stanza first two lines are divine. My favorite ones! I will be looking at more of your work!!! Thank-you for sharing with me!

    Oh Jared, I am so pleased with your review and glad I could extract a six from you. Thank you so much you have made my night. I would be honoured to have you look at more of my work. I am relatively new to this site. I joined in May this year and have such a great time and haven't written so much ever, so it is reviews and ratings that make me keep writing so I thank you so much and look forward to sharing more with you With sincere Thanks for your time and lovely comments Cheers Christine

It's kind of like you've danced around in my mind a bit, kind of weird, but in a good way, I just imagine that this is kind of how I expect to feel after I sort of make the man in my life mine for the first time, not to be TMI. I really loved how it was this jaunty kind of rhyme, but that it was deeper than that, on several levels of intimacy. Well done! Thank you for sharing!

    Hi CallieWVU2 I am pleased you enjoyed my poem of Winter and thanks for seeing this on several levels as it was meant to be interpreted so that makes me happy too . I am a bit of a stickler for good old fashioned rhyme and rhythm and I enjoyed writing this so thanks for reading and for your feedback they are appreciated. Cheers Christine😃
