Swirling In Winter's Flurry Premiere Contest Winner

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Gently, they swirled about in Winter's frigid wind No two were identical, none were ever twinned Each ice crystal, a pristine beauty transcending Tumbling from clouded gray skies, softly descending * * * * * * I frolicked among them, as amused as a child Infused with wonderment and totally beguiled Tree limbs brocaded, deeply embellished with snow So beautifully they glistened with lucent glow * * * * * How quickly it gathered on rooftops and hedges Wafting, free-spirited, collecting on ledges Down, they continued twirling in a tranquil scene Etched in memory as idyllic and serene * * * * I was enamored and enthralled as it drifted Toward heaven, my eyes were gratefully lifted As each flake so elegantly fell to the ground Creating a dreamscape without making a sound * * * Like dainty birds, they fluttered in such a hurry a flock of crystal snowflakes, in Winter's flurry My world was blanketed by a quilt of pure white Tonight it would sparkle brilliantly in starlight! * * * December 10, 2020 Winter Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Emile Pinet
