I think this is a good entry for the 5-7-5 writing prompt.
This short piece tells of an ice storm changing a willow into a witch.
Well done and I wish you good luck with the contest.

A great entry for the 5-7-5 contest with a wicked sense of fun and a great pic to illustrate - some very effective use of language 'wicked ice storm' & 'ancient willow'

I love how weather and a poet's imagination can change an ancient willow into a scary white-haired witch. Combined with the moody photo, this is an appealing presentation.

That's an interesting interpretation of an ice-covered willow tree! Your poem meets the criteria for a 5-7-5. Even the ice storm itself was wicked! But the poem isn't -- it's well written. However I think I see two witches in that tree: one tall and balding, the other stooped over, with a wild mop of hair!

This is awesome. You hit the nail on the head when an ice storm hits in March. We just had a dump of snow a few days ago, and it was not nice to see at the moment. But I have to admit it was pretty outdoors. Just as this poem refers to.
