. What will you do when shortened days and night's darkness hide the best hours? What would you do without a hearth to sit and watch dancing flames? Beyond the window the world - wrapped in virgin whiteness life goes on Above the falling snow a silver sliver of a quarter moon sails dreamily through star-decked skies the night is alive - Children's voices erupt in squeals of joy the battle is on - snowballs fly and victims fall leaving their angel imprints upon another winter night. . |

EnchantedLady~ It's delightful and I LOVE the format~ But ... I'm glad it's your snowball and not mine !! Brrr ... watching a presentation right now about what that lovely snowfall does to our environment~ I just love watching kids TV ! Landy and I are snuggled up under our blankie on this chilly Florida afternoon~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge and little Miss Landry Leigh*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Oh, Nancy, this poem has such a lovely feel to it. I love winter! (Actually, I love all four seasons!) You illustrate perfectly, the joys of winter in our neck of the woods! A 'hearth'-warming write, Enchanting One! Giving you an extra warm hug, Linda |

though I don't see much of it now, these lines "Above the falling snow a silver sliver of a quarter moon sails dreamily through star-decked skies the night is alive -" helped me hearken back to days of yore, simple days of childhood when we lived through seasons of snow...loved it then...love it now through your beautiful words... |

My Lady... the real question is what would I do without your "Kinkadesque" word-imagery? Thank you for a very colorful visual. I hope that hearth remains warm for a long time. Good to read you again.  -MVSYou CAN make a difference, but first you should learn how: http://educate-yourself.org/intro.shtml |
