Taylor,

Being from Ohio, I miss the first snow. In Texas, we're lucky if we get a dusting! LOL Beautiful imagery sets the stage for a scene to remember. Well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Wow, your ability to write poetry in beautiful harp like notes is well etched. The lyrics made me feel as though, for a brief second, I was in heaven. One needs that every once and a while in this life. Good choice for a picture as well. Very appropriate.

Well, where to start?...I could see, hear, touch, taste and smell this quintessential blend of mood, passion and emotion. 'Another memory glistening' indeed and how well it is all complemented by that imagery ...Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! I really savoured this one Taylor. Much applause. Love Panda :)

This one is truly exquisite. Pure and old fashioned poetry... at it best.
It is so capturing I want to hold on for all I'm worth.
A rare and delicious venture into a realm seldom visited.

Delightful contrasts of the sharp and frosty with the warm and fuzzy :)) You etch some beautiful images here with your crysalline verse, Taylor. A glass slipper of a write, seeming to centre (for me!) on the two sides of a winter pane of window glass: icy and web-like on the outside and warm and breathy on the inside.. if you get my drift! :)) Totally Narnian and warms me right down to my toes!
