~*Winter's Canvas*~ The days grow short and Christmas rounds the bend As Old Man Winter dons his robe of white Lone chipmunk scurries gathering his feast While year's last robin finally heads south With nightfall, moon appears in perfect shine Casts eerie glow 'pon nature's work of art Frail branches bent 'neath weight of winter's shawl Play shadows 'cross the rooftops down below The scent of chimneys' exhale fills the air As streetlamps spotlight snowflake pirouettes A distant carol warms a chilling heart While icicles cling bravely to the eves In silence now the world lies fast asleep Awaiting gentle nudge of morning light When Sun with fingers warm shall tease the earth And brush a shimmer 'cross the icy ground 'Tis Mother Nature's masterpiece in play A nightly curtain call for those before ~Vicky L. Raynes *Repost in the absence of my muse... ___________________________ "When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace." --Jimi Hendrix |

lovely writing "In silence now the world lies fast asleep Awaiting gentle nudge of morning light When Sun with fingers warm shall tease the earth And brush a shimmer 'cross the icy ground 'Tis Mother Nature's masterpiece in play A nightly curtain call for those before" I actually love Winter especially when it snows and the world seems to stand still. * nice to read your words again...been too long~~   M |

Ms Vicky is back! Perhaps the reposting of this beautifully word-painted winter canvass, will nudge your muse back from her extended vacation! Here's hoping!  Virtually every line conjured up beautiful images and sensations ~ and memories. Linda P.S. Don't be such a stranger! You, your poetry, ~ and your missing muse ~ have been missed! |
