A Poet Born in Snow

 

"Thoughts must not be stifled; they need tears, an outlet, a sigh, words."

                                                                       Quote by_Constance


I was born in a winter snow storm,
that began with a few filigree flakes;
kissing trees,
then, became a monster roaring and howling.
Through life I have always had an affinity with snow,
with the sun and a breeze;
even, as a child I was a thinker and crayon writer,
until, grandma gave me a journal and pen;
now, a writer-  and words are my trees !

I used to write under that name until something told me to write under my own name, blessings ~

Suzette Richards Date: 7/30/2025 1:51:00 AM Congratulations on your third place win in my contest, A Child of Light, Constance. The very personal tone—very ‘memoir’— beautifully sets up the tonal slippage in the final line: an earned evolution with the imaginative metaphor ‘and words are my trees’. It shifts the tone from reflective nostalgia to a grounded affirmation, embodying the slippage.
