Notes About The Poem

Image result for image of snow under the moon

Snow -A Sleep

Snow -a sleep descending on the twilight streets; Snow, in silent fields you lie pristine beneath moon’s glow, a blanket shimmering. Oblivion serene! Tranquilly envelop me in Sleep - a snow; the more you fall, the deeper that I go under. Oh, sweet Slumber, suffocate with pearly flakes those of us the weary that repose, long time having waited like the windrows. As Boreas does blow, lull and bury all in drifting, dreamy snow.

Andrea, A restful silent prayer for peaceful sleep. 'As Boreas does blow, lull and bury all in drifting, dreamy snow.' The snow buries all in mystery of silent reverie in this lovely poem. -Richard

Andrea, your poem makes me miss the snow! We didn't have any snow at all this winter; and now all we have is pollen covering everything and trees blooming and warm weather! Congratulations on your win on Mile 23 of my 2019 Poetry Marathon Contest! Only 4 contests to go before the final! ~Mark
