I enjoyed your poem. You personified winter in a great way. Good use of rhyme. Your words flow smoothly and the image is perfect. You told a great story. Good job. I see no changes. Thanks for sharing.

Very well done, Christine. I especially enjoyed the snappy cadence and rhythmic beat you've incorporated in composing this. The rhyming is excellent, and the idea of Old Man Winter coming on as a lover is unique and freshly done.

What an excellent entry this truly is. I was very fortunate to do as well as I did, it appears...

Ice cold winter, if you only know how much I miss your cold fingers in the soaring heat. I can not wait for your return. To sleep inside a warm bed instead on top of the sheets and a blowing fan to keep cool. Good luck with the contest

I thought you did extremely well with the personification of winter. Although I haven't read the other entries, I suspect that this piece will do very well. Over the years I've read many personification pieces, this one rates as one of the best! Good luck in the contest!

This work has reached the exceptional level

Such a fantastic gripping poem. Winter personified as a romantic lover sending chills down lover's back. Icy animated tree branches reaching out as though taking hold. Such sexually explicit verses rhyming a beautiful tune.liberty justice

This is an interesting post that the author has created with this piece of writing. I have just read another poem about the wintry woes and it is true that people feel very different ways about this time of year.

    Hello to you. It sure is because normally I never get on here on Sunday morning, just too much to do. Maybe it is God speaking, He works in mysterious ways. If you would like to pursue this conversation about God and faith, let me know. My prayers are with you today. Loyd

A Winter's tale "'Winter Ecstasy'" Well you certainly found some inspiration from somewhere. This poem you have created here is very good, well formulated and so is the structure. Very well done.

After reading the poem, I suddenly missed my wife. Well written piece here. Well done on the rhyme from the start to the end. The message is clear. The choice of words very appropriate. I love the following lines:
"To see you melt beneath my touch
For me will almost be too much."

I love to see how I affect my wife. And for sure she will be thinking of me if she will read this poem. Good entry in the contest. Good luck and all the best for you.
