Cold Notes on snowy tablet.



There are markings
Of a ferret chasing
A lunch or a torrid lover
To consummation.
Blue Jay draws
Snow angels
Wrestling with smaller
Ornithology.
For a choice nut.

Whining through pines
Just like queer musical score.
But the fragrance
In the air unforgettable.
There are suggestions of
That warmer summer's day.
Rains all past.
And hope for the
Furtive heart.

Strong as a sizzling fire
Neath glazed and
Dripping branch.

    Feedback:
    This poem exudes a sense of whimsy and wonder, taking the reader on a journey through a snowy landscape filled with nature's beauty. The imagery is vivid and engaging, with lines like "Blue Jay draws snow angels" and "Whining through pines just like queer musical score" painting a clear picture in the reader's mind. The overall tone is uplifting and hopeful, leaving the reader feeling inspired and uplifted.

    Improvement suggestions:
    - Consider improving the flow of the poem by playing with the structure of the stanzas. Some lines feel a bit disconnected from each other, so organizing them in a more cohesive way could enhance the overall impact.
    - Expand on the themes of love and hope hinted at in the poem. Delve deeper into these emotions to create a more powerful and emotional connection with the reader.
    - Perhaps add more sensory details to further immerse the reader in the snowy landscape, such as sounds, textures, or tastes associated with winter. This could make the poem even more evocative and engaging.
