A Winter Treasure

beneath skies of topaz

flawless

 infinite     in     depth     and     clarity
 
the clouds had fallen...

a soft white cushion
just for us

laughing

we lay back
and made snow angels 
together




**for Nikko's 29 words contest

30 words in total, 29 unique words. 'and' is repeated once.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 9/12/2010 4:55:00 PM This is just wonderful, Sharon!! I bet it will do well. Yeah, some of my line breaks are silly in that poem. I invented that 7/5 trochee form, and so to be consistent and model it as 7 syllables followed by five syllable lines, I have to break it at odd places sometimes. haha. Luv, Andrea Login to Reply
