Winter

The sun breaks through the grey morning mist,
                     Winter boughs glazed in shimmering light,
                     Dew drops glisten, caress and kiss,
                     Birds chirp in the thicket, before they take flight,
                     Quietly the sun slips into repose, arousing the portal of night

Even though it was a contest, I don't view it as a competition, Paulette, we are both just writers, writing from our hearts. In my mind that makes us both winners!

Wow! Congrats! Thanks for sharing this... making me virtually experience wintry delight in my "winterless" country... though it's cold in our place now. God bless you.

Dear Beata, thank you for stopping by and glad I was able to bring you a vivid image of winter. You get the best of both worlds~living where there is no biting chill, but experiencing the beauty of the winter landscape elsewhere. Blessings, Paulette

I love poems about winter , although I am not a big fan of winter myself. This creation sets a high mark, imho. So much presented in so few verses. That takes real talent and a keen poetic mind to accomplish. A fav-- and a fine gem too. God bless.

Hi Robert, I too do not like the cold but find winter extraordinary to write about. Sometimes I believe Winter is my muse. Thanks for your lovely comments. P.S. I just posted my "Lind30"....LOL "Winter Barns" Blessings my friend, Paulette
