This is such an interesting way to look at winter. I really like the way you worded this poem. All in all, I think that this is a wonderful poem to read and I enjoyed it very much.

I adored this write Yvette, few words spoke volumes here and your words are chilling and icy. Alas spring is a long way off, but I liked the positive rescuing here, love Dolly x

This is excellent. Ice as a metaphor for imprisonment and the chill of Winter, as beautiful as it is to the eye, will not end too soon. I love "hunkers" down as a verb. It says so much about the reaction to the scene. Spring as rescue--like a Saint Bernard dog with a small barrel of brandy on his collar. Great word mastering!

While you are having a wonderful winter, we are having a not so wonderful summer, with record heat and a very fire laden wasteland, Send some ice. Well done, an excellent 5/7/5, poem, Yvette, blessings, Roy

Descriptive 5-7-5 about how the world at wintertime has to 'hunker down' and wait until being rescued by Spring later on. I hear some 'n' consonance with end words 'again' and 'down.' Good share with a striking winter photo choice.

Yes, February can't end soon enough! After that it should feel like spring is around he corner. Can't wait to be liberated! I want to see my poppies again...

You really captured the "fleeting beauty of winter's prison" in this 5-7-5. I admired your use of hyperbole and personification, plus the perfect picture. Cheers- Joan
