This 5-7-5, Nature's Play, has the right set up and proves that a creative mind finds the beauty where others see the severity of winter against a bleak sky. Nice.

Nice job! "coiffed clouds" - very creative choice of descriptive words!
This is quite lovely. Nature does occasionally provide us with personal pictures that seem meant just to touch us as individuals. You have conveyed this well in this piece. Beautiful!

Hello to you Tina Crute
Your three line poem is like a haiku
What I like is how you bring out the beauty of nature without glorying your words to express you thoughts showing the beauty of nature when the tress are naked.

    Thank you so much, Gert! The trees were bare and it struck me they might be cold, haha! I appreciate the review:)

When we are receptive to the beauties of nature it is indeed like we are being offered a personal performance. Your descriptive lines personalise the trees and i can well imagine their appearance as they dance in sunshine.

Enjoyed your 5-6-5 nature poem, Tina! I liked that you covered the trees and sky. Nice alliteration and imagery and use of personification in the second line and again in the last! Wish this had been in a contest!

I just really love this. How lovely and the photo is stunning. The font was so small though and hard for me old blind eyes to see. I had to pull out my special tools. Other than that, poetry perfection, dear Tina.

Sending you my best today as always,
Sal xoxo

    Oh no!...I will look at the font. I usually make it larger and bolded. Thank you sweet Sally for the nice review! I will go fix it.
    hugs, dear friend,

Well they were putting on a show for you, Tina. That is the cool thing about nature, yes? Watch all the time and you will see it over and over again.

Great job with a fine verse with fun and excellent imagery. :))

Beautiful metaphors and personifications to truly convey your vision, my friend -- love it! ;) Even after reading your author notes, I would suggest, perhaps, removing the period at the end... not necessary in such a short form and you want the reader's mind to 'not end' such that it continues with your vision long after the 'reading' is finished... ;) :) That's just the crazy blonde, though - lol!! ;) ;) Thanx for sharing your view with us! ;) Yvette

    Thank you for the evaluation and nice review. I started to leave the period off to let the reader's mind drift...but I am a former teacher and I couldn't, LOL! I will take it off and let the poem be freed:)

    LOL! You and I have got to have coffee one day... but I have a feeling the shopowner would throw us out because we were being too disruptive! ;)

    You may just be right! I haven't been thrown out of a restraunt since our youth group got thrown out of a pizza place!
