Winter

**** Whispering snow falls gently from bare tangled branches, and Icicles dangle like shining chandeliers from roofs Nothing exists beyond this frozen landscape . . . Tentative, halting my footsteps in the frigid white, where Everything in this petrified realm sparkles, and Reality fades while I lose myself in this winter walk ____________________________ October 3, 2014 Poetry/Acrostic/Winter Copyright Protected, ID 10-604-704-03 All Rights Reserved, 2014, Constance La France For the contest, Seasonal Acrostic, Sponsor Charlotte Puddifoot, Judged 10/2014 Third Place

Ahh, a magic wand would be nice, no chance my friend, these wings and this heart are forever shattered, this I know in the depth of my soul and for sure you have visited my melancholy writes, I am told I write sad very well ~~

this is another one I really liked; it had a real life feel, while at the same time having a dreamy feel to it - I loved those icicles like "shining chandeliers" - it read very well with good flow from line to line, so that I barely noticed it was an acrostic - congrats on your win in my contest :)
