This is a wonderful use of fifteen syllables for the contest. I love that the snowflakes twinkle, as well as the frosted freckles. Beautiful imagery! best wishes in the contest, and blessings for the new year. Carol

    Thank you so much! I felt whimsical today and thought about snow. Here in Virginia they are predicting some snow, so perhaps I will reenact my verse. LOL. Thanks again!

I think you've done a darn good job with this 15 syllable post Melissa, there's a lot of entries in this contest, this is as good as most, but a little more creative than most, well done, good luck, blessings Roy

This is magnificent! Oh, I need to learn how to do this type of form poetry. Beautifully penned and illustrated in fifteen syllables. If this doesn't win, I will eat my snow hat! Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the upcoming contest,

This fifteen-syllable poem, Water Sprinkles, has the proper formatting and brings us back to those days of joy and fascination of the frozen flakes dropping on a young face.

Melissa,

What a delightful moment you have penned for the child who is enjoying those frosted freckles of a new snowfall.

Your selected illustration and your snow-like stars make this post a super strong entry for this contest.

May the stars sprinkle other reviews too.

Mark

P.S. Best wishes for a happy, healthy New Year!

What a sweet image you have created with this little poem. The child in each of us can feel the cold and the joy of that moment. Well done. Happy New Year.
