Agnes Krampe Poet Acrostic

My Winter

January Hikes

January brings blue skies and sun
As the icy air turns waterfalls
Now to glassy stalactites that hang
Under rocky ledges. Crystal walls
Are around us as we crawl behind
Ripples of translucent shining ice.
Yearly we are seeking out this cave,
Hiking through a frozen paradise.
It’s the perfect spot to stop for tea
Kept hot in the flask. We sit a while,
Eat a bite, and then continue on
Snowy forest trails another mile.

Andrea Dietrich January 4, 2017 at 7:52 AM This is very nice. I think I would not do well on a January hike! HOwever, you make this one sound very rewarding! Agnes Krampe January 4, 2017 at 12:16 PM Thanks, Andrea. We went back this morning, it was 18 degrees, and because it had been fairly dry over the past few weeks, the icicles were not that big.

Jan Allison January 1, 2017 at 7:06 PM Your poem is as breathtaking as the images you posted - wow it must be spectacular to hike and see the frozen waterfalls - love the poem it flows so beautifully you forget its an acrostic:-) good luck in the contest:-) hugs Jan xx Agnes Krampe January 1, 2017 at 7:33 PM Thanks so much, Jan. This is my first acrostic; I have never liked the form particularly because often the poems end up choppy and contrived. I am thrilled that people think I avoided this :)
