Proudly she stands on slopes covered in snow One graceful woodland deer her eyes aglow She strikes a pose unmoving, head held high Twitching her ears as flapping birds go by. Catching the light of early morning sun Across the stream reflected colours run. Right by the lake the drifting mist lies low Deliberating: should it stay or go? Voraciously I feast on nature’s fare Intense the bliss which fills my heart and soul Ethereal the mood that tempts to share With my obliging muse...she makes me whole. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Contest: Winter-Related Acrostic Sponsor: Janice Canerdy © 29th December 2016
