Notes About The Poem

- February -

The ground is chained in frozen iron
Snow crystals glued on pine cones
Overhangs embroideries of polished ice
The wind shakes and shatters them into millions of pieces


Slowly more brightness toward longer days
A new light is born across a white landscape
With its beauty and bliss a squirrel in a pine tree
Thoughts and reflections how beautiful it is

Jannie Breedt August 6, 2016 at 2:25 AM I noticed how much you write about the seasons. Over here (South Africa) we last saw snow in 1981 and summer is way too hot . Send us some snow we will send you some sun. Lovely imagery . Anne-Lise Andresen August 6, 2016 at 8:22 AM - A good suggestion, Jannie ..... I send you with pleasure a little snow, when it comes :) - Thanks for visiting and lovely comments :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
