Dr. Upma A. Sharma Poet Tanka

Winter

Heavenly snowfall,

                  after dark harsh hiemal night,

                   breaths to warmth embrace,

                      youthful lovers led astray,

                    as cold winter blizzards chill !

Andrea Dietrich June 28, 2014 at 11:16 PM Hi, there, glad to see you had an entry in my contest. A big congrats for your win with this lovely picture of winter. (I had counted off a bit for spelling. I think you meant breathes instead of breaths?) Dr. Upma A. Sharma June 28, 2014 at 11:45 PM Oh my ! I didn't spell wrong ,, I meant breaths only ,,,,
