The World Through My Window

Through the window there is a white world Crisp, still and somehow unreal Deep footprints lead from the back door To the coal bunker and back again No traffic on the road to the sandy beach Just children oblivious to the cold The robin that enters the house for food Must now nurture itself plein air And the blackbird, soloist of the sky choir With joy gives thanks to all who listen

Your poem creates an image similar to Norman Rockwell's artistry, Eamon. I smiled thinking how children do seem to be "oblivious to the cold." Especially love the creative description of the blackbird as a "soloist of the sky choir." Beautiful poem, my friend. Love, Carolyn
