Today the world...
Landscaped in pen and ink by
hidden hands
Is winter and embossed in white
on white,
The sky cries down its tears
upon the earth.
Black angled trees...
An onyx labyrinth twists down
the wind
Until the ground is rippled
white brocade
bemeath a shifting candleflame
of sun.
And we ourselves...
Embracing on the creek, like
figurines
Skate out across a polished
mirror of ice
Its edges rough and ridged
like hobnailed glass.
Your imagry here creates a picture of sheer beauty, I thoroughly enjoyed the read Sandra, Excellent work.--Melvina--
When I was a child, sometimes in the wintertime, I would look at winter's beauty and almost cry. I wanted to catch that beauty in words, and I didn't know how. In this poem, you've shown me how.
I can smell the winter as I read this poem and I can hear the skate blades scrape across the frozen ice and feel the meanings as I progress reading...nice +++++10 regards
life is a harsh winter, but we can enjoy the mirror for a while.....
Excellent write, whatever you compose- wonderful. You are a master poet.
A poetic intoxication, A winter's love fantasy caressing and flirting across a page of white daydream scripted as only you can –
