This is one of the most beautiful entries in this blue contest. It is so descriptive in language and emotionally evocative in tone. The similes are splendid and the whole thing is just such a delight to read.. I'm sure it will be a top vote getter. Lovely in every way.

I am so pleased you love "Winter-scape" as it was a challenge to write. I wrote it when it was over 90 outside and extremely muggy. Thank goodness for the picture! Again, many thanks for the great review and big gold star.

I am delighted you could so easily get into my poem, but I do not share your love for winter. Thank you for sharing and your best wishes.
Comment from Heather Knight
I like how you compare the storm to a pack of hungry wolves. It's very original.
Very, very beautiful. I've really enjoyed reading this poem.
This is cute:
The turquoise sky, horizon met
as snow-globe shaken flakes still fell.
Good luck in the contest.

I am very pleased you liked my contrasts in "Winter-scape." It was a challenging poem to write because I wrote it on a very hot, muggy day. Thank you for sharing and your very kind praise.
Comment from dragonpoet
Good use of colored type to match the title and the theme of the contest.
This so nicely describes the scene after a snow storm in these abcb quatrains. It is so pretty before anyone goes out into it. I like how you show life and hope in what seems show be a very lonely scene.
Good luck and keep writing

Thank you, dragonpoet, for your very kind praise of "Winter-scape." The blue font just seemed appropriate. I am especially pleased you caught my theme of "Hope" in the imagery.

My pleasure. I always try to see hope.

Comment from tfawcus
Lovely poem. No hesitation at all in awarding this one six stars. Strong and well-developed metaphors that contrast with each other most effectively. Love that sense of stillness and beauty following the wild storm.
The last line of the poem brings a perfect picture to mind of the 'curling, swirling' chimney smoke.
Effective alliteration and internal rhyme in "Drifting snow draped fallow fields". I wondered if 'snow draped' needed a hyphen but, on checking, it seems that it's optional.
I very much enjoyed this strong entry to the contest.

That was a delight to read. You've created a beautiful picture with the imagery of your words, that could easily do away with the picture above it. I really enjoyed reading this one, and think its a strong contender in the contest. Good luck! Sandra xx
