S: A man in love
O: His lover’s arrival in wintertime
A: The beautiful darling (his lover)
P: to express his emotion for her
S: love
Tone: happy
i love you much (most handsome man)
more than anyone on earth and i
like you better than any other mistress
-my arrival (what the most beautiful day)
although cold and snowy
i hear nature singing for me
dark but the sun still shines when i think of you
you have always been true
and if what calls itself a world should have
the luck to see such an attractive man (that
stands out in the darkness whenever around
through gayer than gayest my heart at your each
nearness) but forget about others because only us (my
most beautiful darling) have to believe in nothing but love
Explanation: I attempted to take the approach of what the woman would say if she were to write this poem. In away she’s expressing her love and I also incorporate a belief that she does not want to lose him to any other lady. And she definitely does not want to get cheated on, which is why she only cares about their relationship. I used similar lines because when she is arriving they both witness a similar setting and similar emotions. I also used a similar structure to give a similar presentation. There are a couple of structural similarities also to give the rite tone. Lines are set up similarly, and there also is the use of lower case letters, and also approximate rhymes.

It's interesting how you chose to do a Contemporary Poet response for this particular poem because I did the same thing! Lol, you shoudl check mine out. I really like how you wrote the poem in a woman's perspective, was that challenging for you? I think you did a good job. I also think you did a good job of employing the techniques that the original poem did, like using parenthesis. I also tried doing the same thing for my poem. Well in general I think you did a good job with this poem. :)
