Season's Lament [E] Tis the season, despite the weather. |
Hiya Richard! Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome Wagon" and "WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group" ! I could not resist this poem that popped up on the Random Read page. Yay! You wrote a poem and nailed the winter. We are getting a blast here right now! I like how you blame the newsfeed for your poetic endeavour. Muses are funny like that. The short poem was fun to read with a sing song flow and rhyme. the imagery is clear and I can imagine how "bold" one has to be to go out there and shovel, or get wood if you have a wood stove or even clear off the car...what a pain...especially as one gets older as the poem says. Kids don't have such important chores when it is winter. LOL I liked how you kept the rhyme simple and were able to use the "old" rhyme in both verses and the repetition of the long "o' sound in many words is very effective. It echoes a blowing snow so creates a pleasing soundscape and adds to the picture of winter. The last line made me ponder with your cool use of the word:"hold", a hold of...? I take it to mean a stop I also thought of a warm hug sitting on the couch! LOL I think you need a capital letter on the second last line. Thanks for sharing your winter vision with its clear comment. I watch the snow blow here and ignore it for now. Thank you for all of your contributions to WDC and "WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group" so far! Happy 2020. eyestar "WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group" My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
