Diddy-Bopping To The Winter Dol-drums.


Winter settles
in a shroud of
8 inch star dust,
gleaming in the morning sun,
whose weak rays can still
make ten trillion diamond
sparkles that fascinate me.

I recline from my visual
mining of nature's beauty,
with a pad of paper
and the stub of a pencil,
to stencil my thoughts.

January looms ahead,
burdened by February's
woven white that will
still be layered in folds,
through the long March
we all must endure.

But I've got
a crackling fire,
putting a bright glow
on my wood stove,
two Corgi's to
slipper my feet,
and a would pile
full of poetic dreams
to see me through.

    amazing

    I loved reading this!
    Where I live right now we've had so much snow and bad weather conditions that everyone's ready for it to be summer, and it's very depressing to hear all the complaints. This poem reminded me of the magic in the winter even if sometimes it would be easier to whine about it than to find the better side of things. thanks for sharing

    This was a delightful read. I fell into this piece like one of the falling snowflakes I envisioned. Great job. Shancy.

    Good Effort

    I might trim it a bit, but I am a minimalist

    I like the "would pile"
