Ice glazed window panes
Chimneys puff glad tidings high
Under foot snow speaks~
Crunchy chuckles of winter
Season of frost-bound kisses

Mmmmmm frost bound kisses.
Love this one Chris...isn't it cold?
Tanka for these winter thoughts.
~Hugs, love and miss ya, Teed~

    In the midst of winter..
I found there lives within me,
    an invincible summer.

Where ice in crystal castle grows
a heart so red, 'tis like a rose
I'll be found here, reading you
amongst the winter pages blue

Oh, Yes! Chris. Vivid images, and feelings, your pivot works beautifully moving equally both ways ....And of course, a Tanka, my favorite form...so terse, so condensed....~C

I will never again walk through the snow without this image of giggling.  Love it!
