Window Painting

Ice Swirls Freezing Cold patterns On opaque window Panes during colder winter nights Delight young children who draw designs blowing warm breath Until the hot sun melts the friezes, erasing their simple artistic endeavors. written October 31, 2021

I am totally not familiar with this form, but you have done a fine job showing it off.

Caren, you should check it out and give it a try. I think it would lend itself to your gifts. Each line is the sum of the syllables in the previous two lines, i.e. 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21....and that's about as far as you can go!

Quite a nice write in a new form for me Milt. This alsobrings back memories of creating those friezes as a child. :) Wondrous imagining! Linda
