                                         the carousel in motion
                                             with expectations
                                   While the stars twinkling above -
                                      childhood memories return

Duke Beaufort November 25, 2024 at 11:00 AM Anne-Lise, nice how you can celebrate a simple pleasure! Also wonderful to let this play bring back fond memories. That speaks of a good upbringing (with narcissists far away)! Smiles!

Kim Rodrigues November 21, 2024 at 2:06 PM Powder snow is such a different snow. I don’t remember it from my childhood. I visited my grandson, went to make a snowball and the powder fell through my gloved fingers. I was amazed. They also had a sheet of ice over the snow and he made ninja stars. Great memory!

Sotto Poet November 20, 2024 at 2:10 PM Hey Anne-Lise, What a beautiful image of a starry, frosty night you capture in your Tanka! Think of whirling snow as a "carousal in action.

I Am Anaya November 20, 2024 at 12:59 PM Ahm, I can live vicariously through your wintery words, Anne-Lise! I've skied the man-made snow grounds and tobogganed down by the cabin! :):)

John Read November 20, 2024 at 12:51 PM Hi Anne, I remember as a kid, waking up to see my street covered in snow, couldn't wait to get out there and play, now days I can't wait to get inside. xx Anne-Lise Andresen November 21, 2024 at 1:59 AM ... agree ... can't wait to get inside ... way too cold :)))

Sam Kauffman November 20, 2024 at 11:14 AM Hi Anne-Lise, what a pretty picture of a starlit, snowy night you paint in your Tanka! Love the image of swirling snow like a "carousal in motion." Enjoyed this invitation to winter! Hugs and blessings!
