    THIS is GOOD. THIS is what coming to this site is all about! This had me gripped from the get-go because, having read some of your other works, I wondered how it was going to end. And you left us on tenterhooks!

    This works on so many levels I have to say that it's left the biggest impression on me of any poem I've read this week. I am very impressed. :-)

    I really like the way that you described winter in this. Especially the lines:
    Catching everything in it's grasps,
    As it rolls down mountains like a tidal wave,
    Those lines just really stood out to me for some reason. But you did an amazing job on this poem. The second stanza was absolutely beautifully written. I loved it. You really did an amazing job on this poem! 5/5

    You should read the book "To Build a Fire," by Jack London. It really redefines your perception of what coldness is.

    Sweet another unusual write. I like the way winter is used for bad here as its normally about joy and snowball fights no one really considers the deadly side.

    4/5 once again. Sweety, your poems are usually very strong, but these are getting weaker as I go. they are more like stories, rather then heart felt poems. The flow was off at times too. You're a great poet.

    "I am so numb it hurts,"
    That line is either really clever or really dumb. Numb means you can't feel anything, yes? So it can't hurt. It's uncomfortable but it doesn't hurt.
    Or.
    You want a contradiction in there, however I think you need to word it a little better if that is the case because it doesn't seem to make much sense within the poem, as the poem starts off quite literal, not metaphoric.

    "I am alone to face the cold,"
    I am left alone to face the cold, maybe?

    This goes on a lot, about the cold and fighting. And being alone. That's all the poem is with a few extra things added in. I see the Winter as being a metaphor but the rest of the poem seems so basic.

    4/5

    I really enjoyed this, because I find you write like me. More descriptive and less based on the rhymes. It was well written and I quite enjoyed the concept.

    Well Done,
    5/5
