Heidi Sands Poet Villanelle

A Clear Blue Day

A clear blue day in the mountains to see
The sun shines through the cold air, all around
Hills of white snow blown up against each tree

The air is refreshing, the sun cheery
Each distant mountain top is wearing a crown
A clear blue day in the mountains to see

A shear of white clouds move on by quietly
It’s like the trailing of a satin gown
Hills of white snow blown up against each tree

With the skies wide open, it feels so free
It is all peaceful in this country town
A clear blue day in the mountains to see

It would be nice to have you here with me
Viewing the sights of this snow covered ground
Hills of white snow blown up against each tree

The beauty of winter can bring such glee
The calmness of nature without a sound
A clear blue day in the mountains to see
Hills of white snow blown up against each tree

Caren Krutsinger February 2, 2019 at 11:00 PM You have made me wish for a wintery scene, which I did not think would ever happen again after last week. I guess you are preparing me for Thursday, for although it is 52 degrees here today, snow is coming back on Thursday. Poetically beautiful and thank you for the mind change. Heidi Sands February 3, 2019 at 4:52 AM Thank you Caren. Yes, we will have a few warmer days finally soon. I appreciate your kind comment and you are welcome :)

Carolyn Devonshire February 1, 2019 at 12:37 PM Your beautiful write makes me long to see snow-covered mountains, Heidi. What a beautiful Villanelle you created. I'm not sure where you live, but reading this I envision New Hampshire's White Mountains. I recall you writing about mountains previously, so I'm envious. What a special place you have! Hugs, Carolyn Heidi Sands February 1, 2019 at 12:52 PM Thank you so much Carolyn. It is so beautiful and you are right, about the NH White Mountains. I am very grateful , yes. :)
