she longed to use words,
like sufficient, levity
with her ear towards
barren and lacking,
as it passes
in echos
across the plains.
snow covered beauty
upon her feet, as icicles
dangle like earrings
her curvy body now, complete.
cover her in ice
and believe in her shimmer,
standing eloquent
within her sun’s
radiant heat upon a seductive sapphire winter.

You’ve perfectly captured the glory of winter, Audrey – I can hear the tree’s plaintive voice, longing for beauty and not realizing how truly beautiful she is – like so many people.

Isn’t is amazing to see ones beauty in another’s eyes. We all deserve such moments. Thank you, Shari.

This wintry scenescape
Darkness and lightness abound
As for tommorow
Spring, summer, autumn for sure
As for their contents who knows?

Who knows,
The possibilities endless
Liken to winter’s brisk winds
Yet, tingles differently.
She feels a delightful change,
What freezes ends
And all inspite of pain.
Okay, I gotta send this one forward. Thank you, Ben.

You know, Miss A., this is beautiful to read and look at, but I’m NOT looking forward to months on end of this kind of weather! Bring on an early spring, please.

Giggle. You always tell it like it is, Debbie. Months on end? I’m out, too! I’m ready for Spring next month. It’s been brutally cold this year. Seems it began just before Christmas and hasn’t let up since, except a couple days last week. Hugs!

I also like sapphire winter- and this poem was nice – but did leave me a little curious – and I know it is not always an author’s style to add notes – but would have liked some here – however – even without it – nice imagery and details

You aren’t alone in your curiosity, Mrs. Prior. The notes would change the readers ability to find themselves within the poems I share. However, I totally understand the need to get the intended message. Try rereading the poem with the idea of a woman needing to feel more positively about herself for someone who cares deeply for them. A letting go of the negative and striving for positive.
Thank you for stopping in to read. Nice to meet you.

We have, as well, Dan. I love the blue sky against the white. This particular photo makes the blonde in the wild prairie grass stunning. My picture doesn’t do it justice.
