Winter Cold Comments

This winter is long fou us! So cold it is!

Such a lovely excellent image in this poem makes readers to feel that cold and watching out from your window too,10++ from me for this lovely piece of work..

Simple and lovely. The hands of winter could be chilly and death. Thanks for sharing

outside we've got drifts as tall as me, and it's all kinds of cold. Your penning is perfect, like looking right out the window. Pretty good writing there. tyfs

Yes RoseAnn, Life is a mixed bag. Spring is here, winter has not left us, A good poem reflecting reality,

Spring is here, yet winter has not left us. Nicely portrayed and communicated.

Liked the delicate opening line.. Enjoyed reading the write

Just been reviewing some really bad poems on Poemhunter. Then I came across your poem. Your English is good. The 2nd line: but they are freezing from the cold. You know what that's called? Pathetic fallacy. I am sure you can do better than that. Can you SEE the warmth hanging in the air? Think again! You need another verb there. I don't think you SEE warmth. (And note, you've repeated the word 'see' again in the next line. I'm sure you have a better vocabulary.) There's a lot of potential in this poem, but you need to sharpen your skills a little more. Don't let these insincere flatterers who rave about every poem get you trapped in the delusion that you are top rate. We all need to learn so much more - to craft and shape a true work of art demands discipline. Not this mushy flattery from people who don't know English (and are better off, writing in their native languages!)

Deeply felt sensations masterfully cheselled in a way that encourages the reader to take the plunge to explore the beauty of the images whose directness enables her/him to capture the essence of the whole poem. I really liked it. Though, we're suffering heatwave, I felt the chilliness of winter while reading the poem! Yet, I think that the poem addresses something deeply psychological. The opening lines are reminiscent of D. G. Rossetti's Barren Spring

Spring is here, yet winter has not left us.A beautiful poem.

Deeply description. Your imagination is so wonderful. Thank you for sharing.

It's like being there. Seasons can't be rushed. Well done!

Enjoyed this warm-hearted poem, though it's cold outside. Cold weather stops me in my tracks. Lol. I wrote one similar to this, hope to share it sometime soon. Thanks for sharing.

So real so refreshing-rescued in a room of warmth from the cold out doors. Thanks for shearing my friend!

I can relate to this poem you wrote in 1976...It still works in MN in 2015 RoseAnn. Nice work. I like this write. It conveys the early spring imagery as well as the human emotion...that feeling of being locked in from the cold. Thanks for sharing this! :)

Dear Roseann that was great. I love the part that mother is source of love and keep all family together

...beautiful poem, these kinds of days are wonderful... and your poem nicely captures the day ★

You said everything in so few and such simple words. Like Soul Watcher said, you make the reader live the situation you're talking about. I enjoyed this. I know what you're talking about. Been to America, experienced the winter there. And I know...Spring is here, yet winter has not left us. Winter doesn't leave easy!

You said everything in a few simple words. Like Soul Watcher said, you make the reader live the situation. Bless you, RoseAnn!

Very awesome, your diction in describing the events is so nice such as when you say Outside the door, I take a step, my breath I can see blowing in the wind. It's cold against my skin and quickly I step back in. You make the reader live the situation you're talking about. Thanks for sharing.
