Francine Roberts Poet Rhyme

Blast of Winter

Blast of winter
Chills the air.
Fresh air nips
As nostrils flare.

Shiver in cold,
Breathe in deep
As winters ice
Into bones, seep.

Stare towards
Lacey sky
As snowflakes fall
From on high.

Beautiful winter
Takes her hold,
Demanding awe
As we behold.

Carolyn Devonshire January 5, 2011 at 10:55 AM Francine, those of us who live in the South often envy the beautiful sight of snow. The bone-chilling winds, though, we can do without. Enjoyed your poem! Love, carolyn

Robert Pettit January 5, 2011 at 9:07 AM At this time of year, you don't have to be Canadian to write this descriptively. You have captured a typical North American winter with this nice ensemble of words.

Constance La France January 5, 2011 at 8:09 AM You captured my "yesterday" nothing like a Canadian winter day and yet, although we are freezing "it is so beautiful to behold" ~~
