Brown leaves swirling in the air Landscape gray, brown and white Shadows in corners everywhere Nothing clear in fog-blurred night Just below the surface lies Iceburg debris floating on top Wait for unsuspecting eye To drench and freeze the feet Flurries of ice-tinged snow Freezing on poles and lines Trees naked limbs covered with ice Raise skeletal arms to implore daybreak The sun blaze burns away the fog AS golden sunlight filters through Sparkling rainbows in prism squares The world glistens in winter's light Pepper "A poem is the very image of life expressed in its eternal truth." Percy Bysshe Shelley |

Visual delight from beginning to end. I just love a poem filled with imagery and you have penned a real beauty here. Wonderful thing about how nature works...just like life and love, there are dormant periods followed by the blossoming of new beauty. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |

Pepper, I love it when you paint winter in such spectral colours. Write on, Belong. Kethry Religion is for people frightened about going to hell - Spirituality is for people who have been there. Anon. |
