Frosty Night Stroll

When twilight hangs on the silver of trees In ways the boughs are draped with frost's release, My tempo of whistling strides and feet unfurl Beneath the dome of clouds, set in misty pearl. Lilacs pose with sheen in a crystal dress On branches gracing a season's finesse, The nightingales coo of winter's refrain Along roads where love finds sweet comfort gained. In solace, I marvel at this jeweled hour As lanterns guide my stroll through night's tower!

FIRST PLACE! Nette, you naughty pratt, saying you have a meter prob. HA! I love how you mention walse in this piece, because that is what these words do. I liked every line, but if I had to pick a fave... a gathering of pinkish smiles. It's like December here. Those frosty, holiday smiles we give so freely to strangers ... sadly, many disappear come February! I see this at the top of the winners list. You made my morning with this read. Thinking about you, sending you happy thoughts. Hugs Cyndi
