December

When frost moves down my window sill— The night's ghost blowing soon snow; In my dreams, this phantasm's strain— At morning, will night seem long ago The night's ghost blowing soon snow, While the moon's behind the sky— At morning, will night seem long ago With shivers in the chimes. While the moon's behind the sky, In my dreams, this phantasm's strain; With shivers in the chimes— When frost moves down my window sill.

This is an excellent Pantoum, describing the chill and cold of the month of December when much of the Western world lies blanketed in snow. Well done dear Paige.

Wow i absolutely love this pantoum dear talented soul, so descriptive and the way you paint imagery is just flawless and flows so beautifully, i am in awe mesmerised by the depth. And i must say these lines speak to my soul the most “ The night's ghost blowing soon snow, While the moon's behind the sky” deep and moon ahh whenver moon comes in a poem i just love it. A fave for me

Yes this feels like December with the night ghost and frost moving down the window, also really like 'while the moon's behind the sky', very intriguing~
