Home Beyond Fences

Where the beauty of clean white snow fenced in, surrounds, surrenders to the epitome of your yard and silence falls with downy flake. Where trees are frosted — each cranny, the twigs, lean, long branches, the bough. Acorns no longer occupy and Autumn leaves are fallen dust. Rooftops in reveille snow-peek over the knotted wooden fence. Glazed, iced — like a gingerbread house. Slanted roof of a neighbor’s ‘bode. Bodes well — Winter’s vanilla shake. Hope of healing hands in friendship. Dizzy, warm and cold, full with gifts not for the taking; forgiving. 12/28/2021

I am waiting for this moment - possibly Sunday "Where trees are frosted — each cranny, the twigs, lean, long branches, the bough." and I look forward to it!

So glad that you look forward to it. So many don’t want it. It is pretty here where I am visiting.

You might even get this old snow-devil to say a good word or two about winter and snow if you keep writing wonderful poetry like this! Enjoy the season, Gershon
