A very well-written ABC poem about the colder weather become part of your days while everyone is preparing for the winter. Winter refuse to say when the snow will come this year.

This work has reached the exceptional level

"Old Man Winter's Secret", is an extremely well-written and delightfully descriptive piece. Penned with craft and skill, this talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. To me, this is definitely a six. I look forward to seeing your next post.

I don't know which came first, but you have found a perfect match. The illustation and text play off against each other perfectly, and even the backdrop joins in the game. Well done.

You are so right about the old man winter who likes to surprise us without any warning. Here comes snow all the sudden. Then we just have to put on winter coat and pick up the snow shovel.

Well done.

I enjoyed your ABC poem about the coming of winter with "clues" like "frost" but not yet "Kisses of snow". Your internal and end rhymes are very effective along with the snowflake artwork. Best wishes in the contest- Joan
