treading lightly,feet sloshing through slowly melting snow, now on icy slides engineered by boisterous children on shaded unused alleys, through uniform suburban streets, turning right,past schools then left,now viewing open vistas,fields,hedgerows, century old holly,glistening in bright winter sun, walking faster,feet finding compacted snow,squeaking underfoot, wood pidgeons,like pale puffed meringues,cling grimly to icy hawthorn branches, goldfinches liquid call,landing, decorating bare trees like tiny feathered christmas baubles, powder snow slowing us, horses graze,shetland ponies, raggedey long coats protecting against winters fierce chill, downy muzzles,sniffing delicately for hidden titbits,finding none,nibbling gloves hopefully, colder now,sun departing, we turn,reluctant to leave this winter haven, retracing our steps slowly, a robin sings farewell. |

A perfect write of a winter wonder walk, imagery, sound and colours crisply descriptive, enjoyed ... Thank you.. Goldenrose. Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength,while loving someone deeply gives you courage. Lao Tzu 6th century BC. |

Maybe they are heading up my way so I can say hello to them. I like this poem a lot ... love the images that you shared with us. A |
