John Oldham Poet Free verse

Snow White

Now it is white here
All white
And the moon full blue is bright
And the town so silent –
So silent night in silence sleeps
Where the snow has fallen
Fallen white it sleeps
In the drowsy comfort of its sweep
Like the pillow soft on which you lie
Asleep in dreams
The silent night in silence keeps

Daniel Turner March 24, 2023 at 9:09 PM A dreamy write, John. I once wrote a poem called no silent night but it wasn't anything near this good. Good night:) John Oldham March 25, 2023 at 5:10 AM Thanks, Daniel!

Michelle Smith February 18, 2023 at 10:07 AM That's pretty as a Christmas card. :) It's rather rhyme-y, but in a free-spirited kind of way. I'm not sure what other "type" of poem it could also be named... John Oldham February 18, 2023 at 2:47 PM Thanks! I really liked the way this came together. Tried to capture that "hush"-like feeling that settles over the land on a clear night following a snow fall.

Randy Freie February 12, 2023 at 11:38 PM Wow, I really like this poem. I can picture the scene in my mind. Great job. Great joy. John Oldham February 13, 2023 at 6:56 AM Thanks, Randy. Glad you enjoyed it! Best, John

Brandy Nicole February 5, 2023 at 7:21 PM This is beautiful, soft and serene. Like a sweet melody, a tender lullaby or a delicate dream. Your thoughts leave me floating on a "snow white" cloud. My heart is smiling. :) Hugs, Brandy John Oldham February 6, 2023 at 12:42 PM Thank You, Brandy! That is the mood I was trying to capture. Glad you got it! Peace, John :)
