Flurry Past

Sun, stand still ‘pon this fallen snow
Let it rival thee in shining glow
Crystallize clear this sheen in eyes
Sun, stand still ‘pon fallen snow.

Moon, cast o’er thy milky glaze
On soft sheer sight of snow
Like silken light o’er peaks now white
Moon, cast thee thy milky glaze.

As ‘tween the time of then and now
Shall we rival that cast of glow
While snow falls o’er bed and bower
As ‘tween that time of then and now.

So, glisten in the warm of snow
Though cold this arctic air might be,
Hold, wrest with night, to stay the dawn
And melt the snow for me.

This is quite amazingly beautiful

I love watching the snow and watching the silhoutted drops trickle as they melt.
Loved this

Always, Alyssa

Very nicely done Karilea...
I love the rhyme scheme here.
I too have had enough of the cold and snow.
Bring on Spring!

Your words beguile; I always smile to see what you have written.
For once I knew those drifts which you apparently are smitten.
When but a child I loved the wild winters of the plain.
In the west we say in a loving way, no need to shovel rain!

You've a beautiful way with words. Thank you.

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

Karilea, we're supposed to have the coldest night of the year tonight. (I won't let the devil make me tell you the temp...like Barry did..HaHa!!!) But, anyway, it's going to be cold for us. They think we might get a little snow. It would be okay if the freezing cold didn't have to go with it.

Enjoyed the poem...

That's OK, Ethel.  It's 24 here just now, and
wind chills will be -5 below tonight.
It's just a little winter, that's all...
and you were much kinder than Barry.  Thank you...LOL...

and thanks to everyone for coming in to read!
