Snow Fantasy

A picturesque snow dancing iced winter rings,
imagine its artic coat tail’s sheer  zoom,
frosty shriek from children who flaunt  its soft melt flake,
the zeal unleashed by doting winter veteran kin attachment,
if adult figures shiver they might whoop,  
as well as gorge ravenously on a chilled feast,
from cascade to wobbly ad hoc cold  spurt gaze fixer,
snow is both Christmas rampant  friend and foe,
aching frostbitten trees with swirls and limp splatters,
gardens bear the ruthless onslaught, 
of wispy white sourdough  layers,
hoarse vocal  mantra cushioned quiver,
 in that agile limb shudder on a surface torrent, 
fantasy upon fun-filled fantasy such wonderland entanglement,
immerse oneself in the occluding  snowball sphere,
camaraderie of fellow eye dazzled worshippers, 
at the swooning atmospheric glacial shrine tangible,
of frozen vapour tickling and teasing awestruck  mirth,
so ephemeral in its momentary  winter surreal deluge,
yet  impactful mind lodger so audacious  in its billowing beauty

That second line made me shiver. It reads like a very cold windy day in the south. Thank you for sharing this one with us, Howard. I appreciate the expanded details of that fantasy being written down. Have a great New Year. Sara K

This makes me think back to my ice skating days. Thanks to knowing how to roller skate, I caught on quickly to ice skating. I last did it in my 20s so I doubt I could do it very well at 70. I roller skates once in my 50s and it was murder on my hips! Sad how life takes these joys away from us

Well, life does change things for us, Andrea, but at least we have life and can enjoy other activities, hobbies, and events that are different but just as much fun. Sara K
