Mystery Writer,
your free style poem is very well written. You did a creative job. Effective use of personification, alliteration and metaphors. I especially enjoyed the lines: "gallant Prince Summer daily bade the beautiful blossoms to bloom the grass to breathe and sign." And the lines: "this spite, it angered Summer beyond repair and in his suffering and pain he created Spring and Autumn so he would never see Winter again." Your poem is an excellent entry in the Personification of Winter writing prompt contest. I wish you good luck in the contest and voting booth.
Missy.

An excellent entry for the contest. I enjoyed this beautiful story of the stormy lovers, and the creation of the seasons. A gorgeous myth with superb descriptions and contrasts of Summer and Winter.

Comment from Carolyn Hilliard
A very creative poem which give Sun someone to love, but his love did not share Sun's loving and generous qualities. The rest of the difficulties shows how clever Sun can be.
A little error in this sentence
but alas, this Lady's power was great
as once there love was strong, [as once their love was strong]

Comment from Sharon Lee
I loved this story. The ending is so unique. Making spring and autumn so that summer and winter didn't have to meet. So refreshing to read. Nice job!
