Beryl Edmonds Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

Calm

Calm
Following an ice cold calm night
Winter sun bathes a splendid sight
Icicles pirouette to ground 
Nature's ballet dance does astound
Winter wraps herself round the scene
A frosty regal beauty Queen 
Clothed in a fetching wintry gown
Lustrous as diamonds in a crown.

Robins bop along, feathers fanned
Upon Earth's dazzling wonderland
Squirrels gaze in awe of their play
And amuse with their own display 
Spider webs, they simply look grand
Silvery art in every strand
Each web so delicately spun
Enhanced by rays of wintry sun.

Weeping willows elevate cheer
Featuring crystal chandelier
Serene majestic wizardry 
A finer sight there'll rarely be
Observers feeling truly calmed
By the magic of wintry charms
Savour these sights ere the Earth's thaw
Before Spring has the world in awe.

John Read January 21, 2022 at 9:48 AM Hi sister Beryl enjoyed reading your poem it should have been a winner. Beryl Edmonds January 21, 2022 at 2:42 PM Hi brother John, the contest hasn’t been judged yet, but on here all poets and poems are winners… Belle

Panagiota Romios January 19, 2022 at 1:51 PM Why don’t poets hear what you said? I mean you made it clear that ALAN is more important than a trophy! Poets ignore that? Boo and tacky on them! The same ones in other posts, They are here for prizes and followers. It makes me sick. Belle is more important. LOOK AT THE DEAF COMMENTS. An unfeeling poet is not a poet. Racehorse followers. Shameful. Sorry, Belle, Pangie Beryl Edmonds January 21, 2022 at 1:49 PM I hear what you say Pangje, I enter contests just because it keeps the muse going, also I find writing poetry good therapy, win or lose it doesn’t matter at all… Belle

Panagiota Romios January 19, 2022 at 1:39 PM Best to you Belle! Panagiota Beryl Edmonds January 21, 2022 at 1:50 PM Thank you dear Pangie ~ Belle

Jennifer Proxenos January 18, 2022 at 2:37 AM With this most beautiful Winter scene, you have provoked our minds and hearts, allowing us to see into this magical fairy like picture, which incidentally I forevever remember, especially as in South Africa, it only snows on the mountains, strangely and co-incidentally we have booked for July this year to go to the Drakensberg Mountains which is our Mid winter. Be safe and well my friend and may 2022 be a year filled with joy. Love and Hugs Jennifer. Beryl Edmonds January 21, 2022 at 1:40 PM Hi Jennifer dear friend, thank you I’m really grateful for your kind review. That’s a lovely holiday you’ve booked, something to look forward too. I hope we get a holiday in the summer and that my husband gets well enough to do so. Love and hugs in return… Belle

Connie Marcum Wong January 18, 2022 at 12:10 AM Wow Belle! I am in awe of the winter beauty you captured in this gorgeous entry. This is magnificent my friend! I am saving this to my Faves. I am sure this will receive the accolades it deserves in the contest. Wish I had written it. I hope your husband is feeling better. : ) Blessings xxoo Beryl Edmonds January 21, 2022 at 1:35 PM Thank you so much Connie, very appreciated. My husband is a lot better, hasn’t come home yet, we have to wait for a care package to be arranged. I’m going to ask after the weekend if he can come home without carers coming in, he needs to be at home with me. Blessings to you too… Belle
