'my Beautiful Dream'

And in my dream I stand in a frozen woodland, the air is cold, quiet, the sky is black as ink; I wear a gorgeous red velvet cape quite grand. Branches hold up icicles that drip with a clink, my hair falls long and raven- like fluid divine; the air is cold, quiet, the sky is black as ink. And snow is falling like drifting crystals that shine, from afar . . . I hear the melody- of a bell; my hair falls long and raven, like fluid divine. Before me is a black horse like a magic spell, on his neck, a red ribbon holds a bell tinkling; from afar- I hear the melody . . . of a bell. Above, in the pretty night sky stars are twinkling, the snow, a blizzard and we are lost in this dream; on his neck, a red ribbon holds a bell- twinkling. Oh, this vision will end with the first sunbeam- and in my dream- I stand in a frozen woodland; the snow, a blizzard and we are lost in this dream, I wear a gorgeous red velvet cape- quite grand. ______________________ February 14, 2017 Poetry/Terzanelle/'My Beautiful Dream' Copyright Protected, ID 17-1214-444-02 All Rights Reserved.

Dear Heart, your poem is so fluid and dreamy and totally captures a winter vision. I can just picture the red velvet cape surrounded by snow and icicles. Terzanelles are not easy to make flow naturally and you did it so well. Maybe the word "twinkling" in line 15 should be "tinkling" like line 11? All in all a gorgeous write and worthy of your win in the contest. Blessings ~ John
