You may have to help me here, Greg...I'm wondering if there is something deeper, but ( I mean i get old man winter personified) but is this supposed to be you? Surely you're not creaking around yet....you're a 'young buck'!!!! I like creaking.

Well damn... I guess I am! :(
rackin sackin...

I love the hard consonant sounds of creaks,aches,wheezes on the first line...
to take me into the second line to alliterate the 'wheezes within' along with who's/Winter... and the vowel sounds of who's/true and alliteration of the/true

lots of goodies in this wonderful Ode to Winter, but now you have me thinking I might be a man. :(
(maybe it's a side effect of the surgery? ) damn ;(
Good luck in the prompt!

This work has reached the exceptional level

I love your poem. It has the total package. Your artwork choice is exceptional and it enhances your poem. You have an inner rhyme and a great message and your poem ends with a question.

I like the humor here, and think you made great word choice to use such strong descriptive verbs as aches, creaks, and wheezes. With this short of a piece, every word has to contribute, and yours did to show the old man feeling that comes with cold weather. The art was a perfect compliment to your poem.

Totally cute! Delightful art work to match, too ... especially the pale peach background ... shades of forgotten summers I suspect ... I hear the aches ... I feel your pain ... :):):)

    Thank you! I don't know how I came up with it. I just dug deep I guess. There's no telling what your muse might come up with. Genius? No I don't want to accept that title but I do appreciate the warm reviews I'm getting from amateurs.


    Kidding. You're the best.

Love your artwork. Your poem is very cute and easy to read. Comes right to the point with no if, ands, or maybes. A very good description of old man winter. Very true for many of us. Good work
