Moods

The snow sifts down on my wintry world and covers all with white; I see it through the window now, unspotted, sparkling, bright. No one has marred its pearly face with tracks of brown and gray; it saddens me to think that soon someone may need to pass this way. Pretty flower faces, please come peeping through the snow. show us your lovely graces, your satins and your laces; let old man winter know he has to go. It is time he did his packing, his ice and snow quit flashing; it is time he left and let spring breezes blow. Copyright, 1987, Faye Gibson

Hi Faye. Read this again. I like it. Hey congrats on being the #1 new poet. I've disappeared, so either I'm no longer popular, or I'm no longer new? Hope it's the latter. Peace :-)

Hi Faye! I too love the look of the landscape under freshly fallen snow. But you're right. Its springtime now. Time for the snow to go away. A very pleasant, well-written read. Peace...Sam

I enjoyed reading this one today..New fallen snow is such a beautiful ground cover but one that I want only briefly to stay..Thanks for the visit to my page..Where there are hills and mountains there are those hollows...Sara

oh yes, very different moods between the first and second stanzas. Nice stanzas!!! as much as I hate winter, I sure thought the first one was very pretty.

I am not a winter lover either. In fact, we are moving to Florida as soon as we sell our house, Andrea, I really appreciate you giving me your opinions on my poems. Thank you.
