While Out In Nature

I heard the faint howl of the cold wind;

        saw the crescent moon's beatific smile

    In the meadow; wonderous sights I did find!

    the winter wrens serenaded me all the while

But where's the snow? Could this be winter's guile?

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 1/11/2020 12:29:00 PM My children have suffered floods and fires this past year. I am quite happy they don't have to drive in snow. I enjoyed your poem. I like the kind of snow that falls in Seattle every few years. It is beautiful but doesn't hang around too long. I used to live there. Congratulations on your win! xxoo Login to Reply Edward Ibeh Date: 1/11/2020 4:29:00 PM Thank you, Connie:-) It rains a heck of a lot more than it snows in Seattle, I bet! I'd love to visit someday...when it's NOT raining, teehee!

Beautiful Scars Date: 1/10/2020 3:20:00 PM faint howl...love those words together... BUT...yes here in my world in MI we have rain NOT snow! 3 inches of rain tonight, which equals 30 inches of snow (apparently) if the temperature drops it will turn to ice. YAY! congrats on your placement dear Edward, blessings x:-)-luloo Login to Reply Edward Ibeh Date: 1/10/2020 4:34:00 PM Thank you, Luloo:-) I'm enjoying a rather mild winter here in Baltimore, but I know it won't last:-( Stay warm and dry!
