Snowed In

As I’m snowed in cooking on the woodstove, I’m doing the dishes, watching through my window Heavy snow falling and swirling all around It is mesmerizing to watch, calming in sight Even as it piles up, there is comfort all around The beauty is as far as I can see A woodpecker visits the seed outside the window Thoughts sift from my mind, like the snowflakes in the air It is pristine, white, blanketed, everywhere!

I cannot explain it, but the woodpecker you created just brought this write so vividly to life for me. Can just feel the freshness of the snow and the crisp, frosty air. Kudos! ~ gw

That poem made me cold Heidi I had to turn up the heat in my house, I felt that I was there freezing. Very vivid poem!

Heidi Sands

Oh. lol. I think I have plenty around here already. But I remember you mentioning their noise becoming bothersome. At least they aren't hammering directly on your house!
