January

Jarring chill from winter’s day A flush of cheeks, an icy nose Nature covers a white blanket Upon a shivering country road. As days shorten, night descends Releasing a host of brilliant stars Yet another year anew begins. Written on 1/3/2019

Nicely done -- love the release of those stars and the rhyme of descends and begins. Win also rhymes, and that's what your poem did. Congrats! ~ Gershon

A standout piece to showcase your abilities and promotes poetry in best light and hopefully inspires others to give it a go. You also have showed how classicism is still relevant using phrases that this generation of poets should study. Happy New year Laura from David in NZ
