A Winter Eve's Illusion

Beneath the vibrant orange-red of sky
and a yellow spot of sun dropped low,
a farm’s snow-topped structures in the
clearing of a wintry woods
are huddled as if to
draw some warmth from this
brightest part of 
a short-lived
pallid
day.

I like the personifying of the farm structures huddled together to get warm. Going to put a sweater on, your words are making me feel cold. It's getting close to that time of year, isn't it?

Wonderful write. I need that sunshine coming this way. It has been cold dark and dreary. Not to mention everyone being sick with colds. Not me for once. love phyl do you hear me knocking on wood ha ha

Andrea expressed wonderfully, easily interpreted of the winter eve's illusion. A reality of cold, snow and sun setting, a painting using words my friend-burr. Warm Smiles Always, Connie

this is so creative! i love the language you've chosen - the "snow-topped structures" and 'wintry woods' are my favs - and the shape adds so much interest to the poem. nice!

Okay, I have to ask - Are you an artist as well as a poet? I feel like someone who can paint such a beautiful image with words can probably create some really amazing masterpieces with real paint.
