To understand the point of this post, first look here. The idea is to create a rhythmic poem from twenty-one words, including the words ‘in winter we shiver.’
Icicles shattering, water buckets clattering,
Drifting powdery snow;
In winter we shiver and skate on the river,
When it’s twenty below.
I just love this! I can see it in my mind. Brrrr.
What a fab piece. Love drifting powdery snow. Well done.
Great job. Clear meaning, great rhythm, and shivery cold. 😉
Love “icicles shattering”. The rhythm of this one is spot on – well done.
This is super. Brrrr need to get an extra jumper!
Oh, this is just wonderful!
Ooh, shades of: When icicles hang by the wall…. My other thought was – why do we do that when it’s twenty degrees below?
Brilliant!!
Lovely Phil. Love the link with the ice & temperature.
Can I be suggestive – if you put ‘it is’ at the end it flows precisely. (I did say being picky!)
Oh it’s wonderful! You really are amazing with words, you seem to be able to make them do whatever you want, I can never make them behave! lol!
Wonderful images, lovely, Robin
Very good! Great words to capture the coldness of winter.
