After the flurry My soul delights Soft curves before me Ice cream dreams Shadows dancing and stretching Defining infinite frozen sculptures Ice diamonds floating through the air Glistening Riding the shafts of pale sunlight Landing on my nose Blanketing my eyelashes I capture them on my tongue A frosty treat A shiver up my spine I wiggle my toes awake Warmth in my belly caresses me Surreal This glorious tapestry before me Silent beauty Her dress of lace Paper cutout high heels A crown of icicles Hugging myself now A hole in my mitten Allowing the magic to seep into my heart Wishing Happy Healthy Holidays to all and best wishes for a Wonderful New Year !

Your way with painting imagery and weaving descriptive words is beyond impeccable and i love reading good poetry, when i feel like dreaming away. And that’s exactly what your poems do, i love this poem and the very unique and authentic way you’ve phrased things, so touching and soulfully divine especially “ A crown of icicles” “ Ice diamonds floating through the air“ wow! Impressive! I am in awe!! Fave this is for me definitely! So i can read again later! Loved this

Susan, I love how you described the snow as clothing - the tapestry, heels, lace... very detailed and visual piece. Thank you for sharing

Greetings Susa, Your detailed, evocative descriptions of a winter crystal palace invite much reader reflection particularly for we folk who live in the north. Congratulations on achieving such snowy, icy depictions - "this glorious tapestry.." before us all (if we choose to see it.) Be well. Sincerely, Brian

This is a breathtaking poem Susan dear friend. I love to see the winter photos that poets post as we have never seen the countryside blanketed in snow and icicles hanging from trees. We have snow maybe once every 12 years but not much, such an exciting experience. The last time we had snow, the highway came to a standstill as cars, taxis and trucks parked in the yellow lines to get outside into the snow, it was lovely to see adults playing like children! Hugs and blessings Jennifer.

Dearest Jennifer, Your comments and visit brought a big smile to my face! I can see it now ...all of those people stopped by the side of the road to play like children in the new snow that is such a rarity where you are. Snowballs and icicles and the chill can make any adult into a playful child one again. A magical experience. Big hugs and all blessings to you, Susan :)

Sara, A belated thank you for your visit and comment to my Ice Diamonds. Snow can be so magical and transform the landscape into a sculptural delight that wows the senses. A fantasy smile and a wink from Mother Nature. Hugs to you, Susan :)

Winter with its icy chill is so beautifully described here Susan . I like the image of the mitten with a hole allowing the magic of wintry chill to creep into your being. "The frozen sculptures' are lovely to behold ....

Thank you dear Valsa. I appreciate your comments and am grateful for your presence . It only takes a small hole in one’s mitten to let the magic in ! Hugs, Susan :)

So wonderfully you relate your own, natural being, to the winter wonderland around you. I think that if we all saw the earth and ourselves as living, breathing extensions of one source, the world would be a lot better off -- protected and sanctified. Lovely writing!!
