Constance La France Poet Quintain (Sicilian)

Notes About The Poem

Canadian Winter Scenes

I love Canada for her wintry show,
the red-breasted robins in trees;
and fresh fallen white in a wild meadow,
forests caressed by a cold breeze;
serene ice rivers and streams that still flow !

We have aged primeval forests of snow,
winter water colored sunsets;
and magpie birds who sing a song of woe,
I live with the snow-  no regrets;
and red cardinals hang on while winds blow !

High white draped mountain peaks cast a shadow,
while north winds kiss the boreal;
photographers take a nature photo.
look at-   in books pictorial;
I love it when filigree flakes fall slow ! 

I love it when the flakes dance to and fro,
so magical and enchanting;
in the still calm I can just let it go,
but the deep snow leaves me panting;
oh, wish it would snow in each tomorrow !

Darlene De Beaulieu November 9, 2020 at 5:42 AM Hello Constance, you painted a beautiful scene of the winter season. I felt like I was there. No snow here, we are having summer weather. Enjoy your day my friend. Darlene De Beaulieu November 9, 2020 at 9:54 AM Hello Conatance, To go walking in a winter forest together would be nice. It snowed here on November 1st. The ground was covered. Then it melted. Now the weather feels like summer. Your right winter is coming. Your friend. Darlene Constance La France November 9, 2020 at 6:38 AM Darlene, thank you for the visit and comment, wish we could go walking in winter, down some wintry forest path, sadly all our recent snow melted in Ottawa, Canada and it is warm here to but not summer like, though not for long, soon we will be in winter _Constance
