Eve Roper Poet Nonet

Notes About The Poem

Winter Bestows

First sight of fallen white virgin snow 
Tats lace patterns on window panes
Grandma's breakfast stirs the house.
Wood burning flames chatter 
In the old fireplace.
Festive winter 
Children take
In its
Lace.
Charm
World cloak
In loose flakes.
Tinsel snowman,
Red Birds rustle the
Winter evergreens, and
Denuded trees by the front
Open porch greeting passersby.
Sun melts deep, shadows seize a cold night.

Rama Balasubramanian December 21, 2020 at 7:52 PM Congratulations on your win. Don't put too much ginger or pepper or cumin. Make and keep, warm, strain and drink full day. For cold and cough basil leaves work wonders. Put cut leaves boil till water becomes half. Drink. You will be up and running soon. Hugs. Rama
