Day Full of Snow

Oh, how I long, day full of snow
When dawns in gelid breezes moan
And nights anguish in frozen glow,
Now that autumn has left its throne.

As dull and decay shroud meadow,
Oh, how I long, day full of snow,
To soothe malaise of dreary woe
Where blizzards frosty harshly blow.

On barren landscapes caught in throe
Trapped in demise of autumn's reign,
Oh, how I long, day full of snow
Gleaming hopes of dimming terrain.

When storms from north exact a toll
Where rivers freeze, struggle to flow,
And lifeless shivers gloomy knoll;
Oh, how I long, day full of snow.

Linda Alice Fowler January 31, 2024 at 7:03 AM Brrr Vijay. I shiver just reading this lovely poem. Very nice dear friend! :)

Marikate Kingston January 7, 2024 at 5:18 PM Hello Vijay, funny that I should come across your poem today. I live in the northeast and we had our first big snow storm today. A bittersweet experience, a snow storm from fat, soft, slow flakes. Everything seems so beautiful at first as It covers "the dead and decay" Lasting too long, it might melt away. I loved your 2nd stanza the best. Such a timely poem for me today. It's imagery is lovely. I'm delighted to have found!

Judy Ball December 30, 2023 at 10:48 PM I can understand this well Vijay. As a child I wondered what snow was like. Raised in Florida I had never seen snow. Now I live in Alberta and love it here. I love the snow and if we don't get enough snow in winter we suffer on the plains in summer for lack of water. A fine write my friend. God Bless, JB Judy Ball December 30, 2023 at 10:49 PM PS Congrats on your double win. JB

Judy Ball December 20, 2023 at 4:19 PM I do so agree my friend. I do love a white Christmas and snow is a real blessing. It is beautiful to see and without enough snow in winter the following summer is dry and things die for lack of enough water. Lovely piece here. As usual. God Bless and Merry Christmas, JB
