An Elegy In Frost Poem by Sandra Fowler

An Elegy In Frost

Rating: 4.9


Cold sunshine writes our elegy in frost,
Author of light a million snowflakes lost,
All gone forever into swirling air,
A dance of death that is no longer there.

Pure poetry becomes a stanza said,
Classical white a message left unread,
While we stand longing for a winter past,
Hurt by a mood that was too fey to last.

West is a shadow wrapped around frail bones,
Your hand in mine for eloquence atones.
Touch is a brevity that needs no sound
To turn the weather of the world around.

Cold sunshine writes our elegy in frost - How much more imaginative can one get. Such lines - so sweet and so gentle - scribble their immortality on one's heart and offers the reader that gentle fragrance which contributes to the beauty and the meaningfulness of life. Take care

what a piece of poetry, the part of the country where you live, i have never been there, but would love to come there some day. you know how to bring it to life, to see the wonderful colors so bright, it is the next best thing to being there. you do know how to write these beautiful poems of nature.

' Cold sunshine writes our elegy in frost, Author of light a million snowflakes lost, All gone forever into swirling air, A dance of death that is no longer there.' Amazing poem with nice imageries.
