This poem aptly describes the dance between spring and winter here in the Midwest. I love the story of deciding to play in the snow rather than moan and groan. My favorite line was of course the last one: falling asleep. The images were lovely, and the pace was playful. caroline

Excellent Poem! The author's words were warm, visual and thought provoking.
The reader thought about the winter snow when living in New York with lots of
good memories. The artwork is perfect and compliments this poem.

I initially thought this delightfully well rhymed poem was being told from the perspective of a young child, possibly of elementary school age.
Imagine my surprise when thoughts of romance were mentioned.
It just goes to show ya.
You're never too old.
Excellent poem, great rhyming and flow. The meter is perfect.
Best wishes to you in the contest.

Nothing happens exactly as we think or wish, an uplifting poem of this can do somewhat miracle by soothing tired brains, nice has been the work, caprice in Nature I could relate to experience as I get my feeling and emotion uplifted at the instance of sudden changes.

Wonderfully captured the late winter season. The message of Spring playing hide and seek with us came through nicely. The rhyme gave it smooth, soothing flow, and the rhythm of the poem made it sing. I loved the surprise ending of choosing to snooze. It gave it that playful tone. Enjoyed reading it.

This is great. You may want to reclassify it as poetry because it ended up in the prose section. I like your rhyme and meter; it flows well. I laughed at the ending of having a notion for romance but falling asleep instead. Playing out in the cold weather will do that to you!

    Thank you Heidi. I did work with Tom to get it reclassified. Don't know how I put it in prose. I only write poetry. haha
    Thank you too for the thoughtful review.

    Blessings

Even though it was cold and had been snowing, the sheer upbeat, verbal tone of your poem gave a lift to this reader. Well written in excellent cadence, easy flow with accompanying abcb rhyming and with an articulate, expressive story to it. Well done, good luck, blessings, Roy
