December Magic

Frost crisped, the lawn remained
beneath the frozen dew.
Water dripped to ice as gutters drained.
The cardinal bids the day adieu;
the winter storm has left a gelid view.

Matthew Anish Date: 12/8/2018 8:35:00 PM Fine seasonal poem. What does gelid mean? I have been published in the NY Times. Also, I remember what you wrote about there being some good people out there. In light of recent events my faith in that has been a bit shattered. Also a great nature photo! I wish the best of the season to you and yours. Peace & Love Matthew Anish Login to Reply Debbie Guzzi Date: 12/9/2018 2:43:00 PM very impressive getting into the NY Times!!!! Happy Holy Days Matt
