Sometimes when the cold sets in that ice is merely frozen ice, but it does and is a great way of dispensing water in an efficient way, I think you created great imagery here Val, well done, blessings Roy

Hello Val,
I enjoyed reading your poem.
The imagery is clear and I love the theme of the seasons blending. Your choice of word ' nourishing' is perfect - so rich in meaning. I love the contrast between the colour silver in your words to the gold of the presentation - a creative and inspired presentation.
Best wishes and good luck for the contest.
Debra :)

I really enjoy this short poem, but for the few words you give such a beautiful visual.
Winter is actually my favorite season. Your poem reminds me of how the icicles always melt along the sides of the mountains where I live.
And, the promise of flowers come Spring.
Beautiful work.

-Very nice artwork and presentation, Val.
-You have used your 15 syllables well with a good topic.
-You create a good word picture of the scene.
-We see the icicle as it drips onto the daffodils.
-A very good closing line connecting the
icicle to the flower. Very well done.
