I really enjoyed this and may even give it a go instead of my usual style of poetry. Love the picture.

Perfect, Carol. Never heard of this before. I particularly like the word "nebulous". As a lover of winter, I salute you.

Marilyn, you can make the poem as easy or as hard as you want to for example it could be just one word like I did or several.

winter wonderland would be harder for example.

thanks amanda, I am just more drawn towards prose than poetry. I combine poetry and prose alot though. But for strickly poetry, I have to feel inspired to create a poem.

That's really cool! I like the idea, never knew there was a name for it. I may give it a try. Also, I think my mom may be interested in this. You should start a group on this.
