About This Poem

Winter's Blanket

Ah winter, I find warmth in its' chill,
In the quiet of the rolling hills
As they're covered by small
White pieces of a winter sky.

There's warmth in the ice coated trees
That gleam in the sun.
A forest whose more delicate members
Bow, as if to some unknown king.

I know it's cold, 
I can feel winters' breath on my skin,
But I have been more cold in summer
Without the warmth I feel within...


For Gail Doyle's contest

    This is so elegant and beautiful....I am feeling such serenity with this lovely poem, Craig.Such a positive energy rises from the winter portrait you have painted. (And ps..it was my over-sight in submitting the recent poem for your contest..I did not see the "new" poem requirement...but thank you so much for the consideration..I completely understand...and yes..in all fairness, you must stick to the rules of the contest!Thank you very much for letting me know :)I'll be more careful next time!
