Snowdancer

Snowflakes blow in a sky of gray as the snowdancer dances her cares away. Whirling and twirling in a sea of white, warm breath escapes her lips, dancing and slowly moving her hips. Up above a snowbird flies over the trees into dark skies. The air is quiet. The pines are green, bowing low in this snowy scene. The snowdancer's heart beats faster and faster, moving and swaying on a floor of alabaster. Music floats on cool, clean air. The man of her dreams is somewhere out there. Sparkling flakes cling to her gown and decorate her hair of brown. Arms outstretched as if in flight, the snowdancer spins into the night. The snowdancer spins into the night.

Fun read, Carole. Not ready for the snow yet nor the cold. Brrr! The older I get, the less i like the colder weather. This poem shows your playful side with a lot of imagery. Enjoyed the read!

Thanks, Daniel. Basically, I had to publish it now since I just mentioned it in my Bio. Originally I was going to save it til winter...but here it is in August! It's so hot here in Louisiana right now that just writing it again cooled me down!

With the summer heat, reading this poem does a better job at making me feel cooler than air conditioning.
