Poem Artwork

~ Touches of Winter ~


 


over a small town


heavy snow filled clouds hang low


like painful bruises


 


 


walking in packed snow


chirping like hungry crickets


under our snow boots


 


 


naked trees reaching


scratching at gray steely skies


cloaked in snowy white


 


 


in the cold moonlight


icy winds cover windows


in crystal flowers


 


 


ice taps the windows


snow flakes being chased by wind


winters endless dance


 


 


a cold winters wind


tries slipping down a chimney


candle flames flicker

You paint pictures with delicate management of words that evoke powerful emotional responses. I'm delighted to read your work. Will be looking at more. This poem really captured the spirit of winter in all her splendor and magnificence.

a sensitive and talented poet
word-sculpts a crystal snow-globe
bruise clouds steel and all

I am painfully aware that my attempt at a tribute falls far short of your g o r g e o u s and e v o c a t i v e tributes to winter.

Thank you for posting these wonders!!
