A Wisp Of Mist Poem by Ernestine Northover

A Wisp Of Mist

Rating: 5.0


Was that a wisp of mist I saw, swirling across the lawn,
Drifting through the shrubbery, this early November’s dawn.
Frost had gathered on the grass, making it all crisp and white,
And so a chilly day has shown a vision of delight.

Winter’s fingers are moving and the land begins to freeze,
Dressed in a silver blanket by nature’s great expertise.
Icy world of sparkle, a unique transformation seen,
As a wisp of mist goes swirling slowly across the green.

Ernestine, driving home early Sunday morning the ground was all white from a heavy frost. A chill rose in the air. This wonderful poem reminded me of that and of the party I had been to on Saturday night. A pleasure to read and I felt the chill here. Top marks and thanks for sharing it my friend. David
