Very picturesque. I see a full moon on fresh fallen which covers the outside Christmas lights around the house. I can't resist exhaling the sprites of winter. I'm disappointed that it's not snowing where I am right now as I read this. Good job.

    Thank you for your kind review. We are not having snow either. Just plenty of rain. It is more like spring today, then winter. Have a good weekend.

I love the imagery you present here. It's so crisp and clean.
"Ice diamonds sparkle"
And

Really great writing!

I loved your Tanka, keeping to the guidelines. It gives a real feeling of winter. Thank goodness I celebrate summer in December. Good luck.

Excellent handling of this form. The imagery was strong and direct. The personification in the last line was very well done. Strong mood is exhibited in the diction you chose. This is a strong entry. Cowboy

Yes this Winter Tanka captures the visual and the audible picture of the season of Winter - portraying some of the beauty of the coldest season of the year

An excellent contest entry. You should do well. I don't do well in contests. There are too many talented writers like yourself on this site.

Very nicely done. Can definitely see the images of the Christmas/ Holiday lights under the snow, which always looks really neat. Love your "silver moonlight" and "ice diamonds". Good use of some unique descriptions. Loved reading this. Keep writing.
