Melissa,
This is a great minute poem. It is well organized and flows nicely from beginning to end.
The cozy nest you portray pull this reader into your poem and experiencing the unhurried life. Very peaceful.

Comment from Tim Margetts
What a relaxing and soothing poem this is, my friend.
I love the way you create this vision of snuggling under a duvet, rejecting the cold beyond to enjoy the simpler things of life.
Give me poetry, give me coffee, give me a warm fire over the chill beyond my door any day of the week.

Now that is a really good shortie, Melissa. That should do well in the contest. I just read this again, and I am going back and change the five stars to six stars. Great job.

That picture is a perfect example of what to do on these cold winter days. The rhyme and flow of your entry are perfect! These frigid days are the right time to stay inside with coffee and a book to read. Good luck in the contest. judi

Comment from June Sargent
Winter nesting sounds just fine with me! Some books and a hot cup of tea. And I'll just patiently wait for the robins to return to build their nests again. Lovely minute poem. Melissa!

Comment from teafor2
Sugarray77, what an enthralling musical soliloquy...The lack of capitalization suggest a self-speaker completely emerged/aware and taking in all sorts of intimate and fleeting glimpses of halcyon...Perfect line breaks make the lack of punctuation null and void, which allows rhymed quatrains to be perused at reader(s) personal pace/leisure. My read was
captivating and over too soon. A great special entry for this particular contest. Good luck. teafor2

Comment from Faith Williams
Minute poems are one of my favorite forms, and yours is particularly lovely. Perfect rhymes and rhythm evoke that wonderful lyrical feeling. I was drawn to the lines,
'my world is hushed
and life's unrushed'
and
'calm reverie'
One suggestion to consider: To me, the word 'incite' brings to mind a person stirring up the pot which seems to go against the general theme of your poem. Maybe switch it out for a different word-evoke?
Just a suggestion.
It is a wonderful entry. Best wishes in the contest.

Hello Faith. Thank you so very much. I relooked at the word... 'incite' and agree it has a harsher meaning than I meant to convey. I really appreciate your suggestion and incorporated it into my poem. Hugs!!

Hello Sally. I am ok... we have had a death in the family, and I've been away. My 42 year old niece had a brain tumor and passed last Friday. I haven't felt too much like writing these past two weeks. I appreciate your concern for me. Hugs and thank you.
