Moody, Moody Blue

Flurries bite as the raven drools it sits on frosted boughs and trills. Amid the numb of winter’s limbs its call, the threadbare air, refills. My eyes mirror the lone hill’s song while breaths cry out to agonize. Deep within a moonless backdrop phases of blue cause dullness to rise. Prickly snow defrocks my gladness Embedding stains on bleak frontier. Oh torch of light, kindle the pyre to awaken mood quite sullen here! .......... Winter Blues Contest of Juli-Michelle by nette onclaud

I am fascinated by what you have bestowed upon me and my soul by this illustrious write! You have delighted me completely by the splendor of this incredible poem my friend! I really enjoyed reading this awesome piece this evening! My favorite and the most intriguing line has to be, "Amid the numb of winter’s limbs" a very tremendous line! What a special poem, Great Work!!

I always try to pick out a favorite line but what you doin here girl? All are stunning, melancholy and so eloquently written. Okay! IF you insist...'Prickly snow defrocks my gladness'...Oh yes indeed. The 'moody' repeat in the title tops it off...

What a strong intro with a mellow follow-up of a blue feeling this season.This leaves me speechless as the longing for a brighter winter is so intricately marked. Such talent, Nette!
