Flakes of Faith in the Chill Premiere Contest Winner

Written: January 06, 2025, for contest. Sponsored by: Regina Mcintosh Quote: "During winter, cuddle up with a mug of hot cocoa and some fluffy white snowflakes—they're like a kiss from the sky." By Poet ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The world is quiet on a winter's night The stars gleam as faint hopes in a crisp sky Down silent snow, souls whisper deep insight Shadows move across numb lakes as stars vie Each flake is feat faith in face of life's plight Peacefulness of night mirrors our core sigh The Pungeant winds whip the gravel with force And the winter clinch has been harshly coarse Twigs bend under winter's weight yet stay strong A calm praise to the deep spine stance we hold Their charm shows the grace of a set soul's song While mild breeze lullaby draws views of scold But its tune carries the pledge of vast gong Amid turmoil, we find peace in life mold When it turns cold, fire from Hell grows in speed Its often pale glow brings a sense of deed Soft sheets of grace goad, lack a mayhem nest Hope floats like blessed hues on frost-flecked fields In this calm setting, our souls taste sweet rest While winter whispers sullen wind meets shields Scoop reveals paths that were once wrapped in zest Nature's nurturing boosts healing and wields And a maiden, enthralled by love, now warm Casting aside a grudge coupled with storms

I can see a future where college students study the poetry of Sotto Poet Lasaad... along with Yeats and other masters of the arts! This is simply breath taking. Xo

Lovely images of Winter - " When it turns cold, fire from Hell grows in speed Its often pale glow brings a sense of deed" just lovely

The warmer to hot countries long to see snow and the people who live with snow and frost, like England in the past few days, long for sunshine and warmth. Yet Winter the way you describe it my friend, sounds like a wonderland come true. Such a mesmerizing write, Blessing Lasaad, Jennifer.

You are an incredible poet Sotto. I love your beautiful poem. It will be down in the 40's tonight here in the desert, and I heard we may get snow in a day or so, that will be amazing! I am freezing already, as we are not acclimated well to cold weather, but you would probably laugh if you were here and think it warm :) Another lovely poem.

- It's beautiful to look at, Las ... and the sound is muffled when the snow falls :) - The new year has brought a lot of snow and some rain ... mild and frosty ... thick ice with new snow ... we are shoveling snow and chipping ice around the clock ... it is dangerously slippery and cold ... winter is a tough time even though it is beautiful - hugs
