I creates an image in my mind about leaves that are dancing in the breeze. Love the detail it makes it seem to come to life and put on a play inside my head.~yhorse

That is the worst type of winter. Good alliteration of W words. Creative and descriptive. Good visual imagery created. Great work. Good luck in the contest.

excellent alliteration and assonance in winter wind/withered
vivid detail of setting with strong sensory appeal and good use of personification

This is a very strong entry. I had only one problem with my mental image, green leaves. Usually the leaves turn colors before they drop, which would be a boney forest. Evergreens typically had needles not leaves, which is why they don't have to drop then in winter. It could just be where I live, but in my mind dropping green leaves is a sign of disease not winter.

Meets the strict requirements in every way. I love this depiction of a stark winter. Nice take on the forest as being bony. A striking and accurate image implying so many things, undernourishment amongst them. well done piece, mikey

dry winter wind swirls 'w' allits
across hushed bony forest LOVE 'hushed' 'bony'
withered green leaves dance " 'withered/dance

Meets all strictures. Well done.

Author: excellent 5/7/5 poem about winter wind has met the contest requirements and nicely described the dry (I would have used 'cold') winter wind and its effects on a forest.
Especially like the description, ". . .bony forest. . .". This piece is a contender. livelylinda
