Per mention in your answer to my review of your lovely summer maiden poem I had to go back and read this one and it did not disappoint. It is another great personalization, but this one a bit more chilling...brrrrr.

Hi, Rod.
Your poetry is beautiful and really creates such wonderful imagery. Your detail to words stand out, from "Fingernails, long lcicles" to "Blue eyes like ice-filled mountain lakes" These images really paint such vivid pictures using words. I look forward to reading more of your beautiful poetry and continue learning.
Bye
Rosalyne :)

I really enjoy writing poems about Nature and it was fun to personify Winter in this poem. Thank you so much for sharing it and for your very kind praise. Rod

The formatting on this is incredible. Your words are soft and warming, quite in contrast to the wintery feel it gave. It was as though I were entering a warm home from the frigid air. I enjoyed this RodG.

Excellent personification of winter, Rod.
Very original theme to connect with a cold love and death - many connotations could be imagined, as to the meaning beneath.
Top meter and rhymes.
Very entertaining read.
Best wishes, Ray.

Comment from ~Dovey
There is great imagery throughout this piece. I believe you have personified her well, in her chilling vestige of snow and ice. I especially loved this passage:
Oh, Love, why must you chill my heart?
Your wintry visit terrifies.
That Death is final, absolute
your ghostly visage verifies.
Good luck in the contest.

Winter personified as a ghostly visage "Lady Winter" It sounds so good to have winter where you are. We now have a dreaded hot season, but I'm not complaining. Your poem is very lovely. Well done.

You are most welcome. People in cold countries tell me they prefer the snow.

Comment from N.K. Wagner
An excellent personification of winter as the poet's dead ladylove. Two things to look at:
Fir sprigs, reg berries, crown your head. -red
gaze at me though no tears are shed. - rhythm faltered here
Merry Christmas. :) Nancy

Thank you so much for sharing my poem and for your kind praise. I also appreciate your pointing out the typo. The "faltered rhythm" of that line was a problem, but if you emphasize "at" (like I intended) rather than "Gaze," I think it works.
