What do you think of this poem, "winter"?

Question

Winter
Chilly winter mornings,
Frosty winter nights,
On the news there are warnings,
That the roads are thickly iced.
~*~
Days are shorter, nights are longer,
Everything glistens with ice,
My love for this season gets stronger and stronger
Winter is so very nice.
~*~
I wake up and look out my window,
All I can see is a blanket of white,
Oh how much I love the snow,
It makes everything feel just right.
~*~
Before you know it, winter will go,
So promise me, while it's still here,
Although you may not have any snow,
Enjoy the most wonderful time of the year.

Answer 1

i liked it a lot, especially the last stanza. :) you did a good job with having your words flow together & you picked good word choice for the rhyming. to be honest i cant really think of any constructive criticism.

good job!!!

Answer 2

Ahhh, now this one is lovely! You keep to the theme ... it's personal, has a message and is lilting. Your last two lines are great fun!

As for publication - wish I could say otherwise but it can use more work. But you've got the gem of an idea here!

Keep on writing - the more you write, the more feedback you get, the more self-confidence you'll have. Well done!

Answer 3

I like your poem, it reminds me of my childhood, winters were very long then and one could not look out of the window, the glass was frozen over and there was no water, it froze in the pipes. Don't worry if anyone likes your poems, write them to express your self. Keep up the good work, don't let anyone discourage you. Writing poetry is very creative and an outlet for most people.

Answer 4

LOL. jogs my memory of the Dorothy Parker quip while she replaced into asked for a couplet with the notice 'horticulture' in it. She stated... you may lead a horticulture, yet you may not make her think of!

Answer 5

i think it's a great observation and a good wish towards others. Considering the last line, I think it belongs in your Christmas cards.
