Winter Dorian 42 Style

Winter is the time of year
ice prevails before the sun,
not at all when people should
try out races now begun.
Extol virtues of nature,
run, life's race must now be run

Dorian,
In your poem Summer you disallowed comment so no one could mention the second line is grammatically incorrect. It should read..
Umm, temperature just soars! 
or
Umm, temperatures just soar!

Hello Dorian, with the poem below you once again turned off comments. I assume eight by four refers to eight lines by four syllables. The eight lines part is OK but a number of those lines have five syllables. Apollo And Daphne - The Eight By Four Style.

Andrea, I wrote this simply to gain Dorian's attention, that is why I included her name in the title. I read her poem Summer and enjoyed it but felt I must point out a grammatical problem in the poem due to an extra "s" that really aught not to be there. I could not respond on the poem as she had turned off comments, something I can't imagine ever doing.

Well, it's certainly a friendlier site than some I have visited. I can already discern a niche into which I'm sure I can fit.
