Beautiful monokus Sara. Congratulations on the winning contest. Very well deserved. Yes, the frost makes landscapes beautiful, but it's so cold. Have a nice evening my friend.

thank you, sweet Maria, for your visit and for your congratulatory words. I agree frost and cold temperatures go hand-in-hand. A polar vortex is headed to our part of Texas with temperatures in the teens...ice and snow. Not looking forward to that. Have a great evening, Sara

How smoothly and in a soothing manner your monokus flow, and so creative of you to write monokus like this! So clever. Your seasonal poems are always soulful and a beauty to read, and fitting for the mood , in an uplifting way ofcourse: i love how you’ve written “ the frost comes as snow without cloud, bringing brillianc to the dawn“ it has such a lyrical tone. And beautiful pic too to go with it! Pleasure reading your work: sending you light always
