In my opinion, a sterling presentation in this well framed write - succinct and defining in both smoothly articulated verse and striking image - fully compliant with the prompt - best of luck in the contest...

This brief verse is free-flowing and poetic in 5-7-5 format.
The photo-art selection is well complementing.
I see a promising writing prompt contest entry.
Best wishes!

This poem is unique in that the words are simple, but state a profound fact. If you are breathing, you are living, and that's something to be thankful for. The word crisp makes me think of feeding an apple to the horse:) It seems you may have found the picture first, as it is so perfectly paired with your words. Either way, this is a winner , in my humble opinion, because of the total beautiful presentation.

I think you have nailed the contest brief, with or without the accompanying artwork( which I thought jelled perfectly with your words). Good luck in the booth, I reckon you have a contender here : ))

What a lovely presentation - gorgeous photo of the horse-breath vapor, and the words themselves catch the idea of life going on through wintry times.

I enjoyed reading this 5-7-5 Your lines create a pleasing
scene in the reader's mind,even without the picture.
the picture is beautiful though.
I love a crisp winter day and seeing our breath is a definite
affirmation of life.
Good luck in the contest.

    Thank you, Willie! And I share your approach- if I don't understand a poem or story, I don't offer a sub-par review (as some do), rather I move along.

FIRST--I had a shock as I just completed a 75 word flash fiction on winter and thought "OH %$#!--I messed up!" (LOL)... Then, when my pulse came down under eighty I was able to appreciate the charm and serenity that is such a challenge to capture in 17 syllables!--Karenina
