L Milton Hankins Poet Verse

Wintry Friezes

Wintry winds and the swirling snow
Paint freezing friezes on the peasant panes
Tongues tease, warm bated breathing
Draw designs with perfect puffs of air
Lovely lines, simple shades
Girly giggles; lively laughter
Merry making frolicking fun

Caren Krutsinger November 3, 2021 at 10:10 AM This poem prances as if she is a dancer. L Milton Hankins November 3, 2021 at 10:25 AM Caren, this is the most difficult format I've ever tried to work with. Why don't you give it a go? I started out with 8 syllables, and when I got to the fifth line I could only use 6 syllables and have two alliterations. It was a bugger! Thanks for your kind evaluation.

Tom Cunningham November 2, 2021 at 3:29 PM You rose well to the challenge Milton, not an easy one to do. Your alliteration is spot on. Tom L Milton Hankins November 2, 2021 at 5:32 PM Thanks so much, Tom.

Sara Kendrick November 2, 2021 at 1:11 PM Reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. These are not so easy to write but you seem to have done it seamlessly. Sara L Milton Hankins November 2, 2021 at 1:17 PM Thank you, Sara. You are right. It is not easy to write, but I made a decent stab at it.

Kenneth Cheney November 2, 2021 at 11:08 AM Very nicely done. Great imagery along with the alliteration. L Milton Hankins November 2, 2021 at 11:41 AM Thanks, Kenneth. I found this format (alliterisen) exceptionally difficult, but I gave it my best over several days. I appreciate your thoughts on it.
