Icy Crystals On Grass

early morning winter gift droplets soon disappearing ~ icy water drops ice crystals on grass glistening like pure gemstones ~ dawn winking at the morning birds sip from dewy blossoms a drink of water ~ for our thirsty feathered friends (7-7-5) (5-7-7) (7-5-7) Syllables checked by HMS Written December 7, 2022 Submitted to "Triple New Charlieku" Poetry Contest Sponsored by Charles Messina

Reads like a good contender to me for the contest. Way to go. I enjoy seeing the dew or raindrops upon the grass or flowers. In each drop you can see a reflection of the surroundings. Thanks for sharing this one. Sara

Thank you, Sara. I love it when the sun makes the grass sparkle like diamonds.
