We have had some 105-107 degree days
so I had to cool off;-)
I awoke in the chamber of snow
Such beauty made my mind glow
Diamond sparkles pristine white
Almost blinding to the sight
Mounds and icicles on evergreens
More magical than I've ever seen
Intricate flakes falling soft and slow
Like the dreamy look of a surreal show
There's an aurora borealis
A haloed moon looks like glass
I'm enchanted by a glistening glow
I think I see a snow fairy pass
My voice goes out like an echo
As I ask"Anybody here I know?"
"I'd love to play in the snow"
Beautiful imagery in this poem, Eileen. We haven't had much hot weather to speak of here in NH. Rainy. This is a great way for the mind to cool down. Hugs,
Sheila
only a really cool lady can write so effectively out of season -- you have done that -- now please, stay cool -- love the photo -- peace and love my friend -- Jon Michael
Thanks for cooling us all off... :~)
I remember one particularly hot summer in Idaho when there where at least a couple of consecutive weeks of over 100 degree temps. Someone called into the radio station and requested "Frosty the Snowman" so that they could at least pretend it was cooler... hee, hee... Maybe it didn't cool us off, but I know I sure felt better after hearing the song...it definitely made me smile. :~)
Your poem did the same...
The only ice I will accept today (a measle 96 degrees)is in my Cinzano Rose Vermouth under the big parasol on the veranda looking down from the top floor at those mini hot pants warmed by the sun as they go by...
And you may keep those temps out there on the west coast as we have been barely in the mid 80s and the ocean has been an oh so warm 72 to 75...the temps have to break eventually & while they do you will stay cool in pictures like those above...Ed & Rufuz
Eileen, with it being in the 100's here in Texas, I needed some winter, surreal or otherwise! LOL Thank you for this refreshing poem; and you put the Northern Lights in it, too, besides! :) Thank you tons; I appreciate it so much! Very well penned/imaged; brava!
Happy Fourth of July to you; stay safe, and have fun!
You've no idea how badly I needed this Surreal Winter - I'll take refreshment any way it comes!!!!!!!! And to have the Aurora Borealis makes it even better. Thank you, I thoroughly enjoyed!
