1425 Footle Poetry Contest

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
dusk falls
stars blink

wind howls
frost fur

flakes fall
snow soft

white cold
hush deep

hearth glows
flames leap

time halts
peace wakes

bells clang
hands pray

Christ child
gentle grace

Valsa George November 11, 2025 at 1:14 AM More than a single footle, I always prefer a sequential series. Lovely description of a winter dusk and the birth of infant Jesus. All the best dear Sara. sara Etgen-Baker November 11, 2025 at 6:10 AM thank you, Valsa, for your thoughtful words. I, too, prefer sequential series...seems more meaningful....hugs, Sara
