Savor Candied Snows

Fall soft this time
to blankets green,
to cushioned thought
and darkened fabric trees.
Encircle vines crawling by,
through fields with timber toes.
Gently rest in salted core
and savor candied snows.

Hats off...

Spitfire, a beautiful poem. Sigh short and very sweet.

"Beyond all this good is the terror,The grip of a mercenary hand,When savagery turns all good reason, There's no turning back, no last stand,"I.Curtis

That has in all honesty got to be in the top 10 or so poems I have ever read it's amazing .
How did you manage to work the beutiful associative metaphor into the perfect rhyme while keeping it short and invocing memories from the past .
I absolutly loved this poem and humbly bow so my forehead touches my toes ( I think this is possible ) . Anyway you get the gist .
Thanks .

This poetry is satin, it rolls off the tongue. I knew it would be when I read your name.
Be well
