      Katelyn, I really liked the line about snow tasting like cucumbers! That's great. One thing to consider might be removing some of the punctuation. For example, there is at least one line that ends in a comma where you might have a period instead. Alternatively, you could remove most of the punctuation, only keeping the punctuation you really need---like commas in a list. But, great poem and fun to read!

      This piece had some especially memorable lines, especially "a perfect day is all in the sky." I like that!

      I especially liked your last line, Madelyn––"winter can't reach me yet." I keep hoping that's the case, but you never know!

    Alena, I really like this---I especially like the line: "The night of wishes and dreams, overturning to morning of happiness and wonder." I think you have really captured the spirit of the season.

      This is my favorite line, Ada: "I feel alive when I can look into the sky, and see nothing, but everything at the same time."


      Well done.

      I like this Porter. I think it shows a different side of you and it's interesting to read.
