Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

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!

Gershon Wolf December 1, 2018 at 8:19 PM 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 Heidi Sands December 2, 2018 at 7:44 AM That is great to hear gw. The woodpecker do come to the birdseed right outside that window. Thank you for your kind feedback on this :)

Bobby May November 27, 2018 at 3:02 PM 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 November 27, 2018 at 3:40 PM 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!
