Hi Jo,


This is a fantastic poem. The tone is formal. It suits the poem and subject matter very well. The poem is about the signs of coming Winter that someone observes while on a early morning hike. I dislike Winter and, usually, spend most of it wishing for Summer. I loved this poem and read to the last word. The Acrostic poetic form works well in this poem, and you have handled it very well. You have used the phrase Early Frost very creatively in this poem. There is a wonderful rhythm here. The poem flows extremely well. It is a pleasure to read. You have used punctuation and grammar consistently in this poem. There is nothing to distract the reader from their reading pleasure. Great job.
