Winter Celebrates

*Winter Celebrates * New year arrives as north winds blow Ferns of frost through dim sunlight glow - Flowers of the winter rose Deep in cold – in frosty white climes Winter’s heart beat feels warmth divine - A heaven sent valentine Wild banshee winds in feis hornpipes Hear the pipes of crocus’ bagpipes - Reels, jigs, tickle clover types Winter’s bleak barrenness belies Jubilation in dormant life - Festive respite in long nights. 1-19-21 Contest: Attention to Detail Sponsor: Rob Levasseur

You are so welcome Beata! I am guessing that winter for you is a rainy season with warm temperatures. The rain I can relate to having grown up in the Pacific Northwest - the warm temperatures in winter are a mystery! I look forward to reading your uplifting poems so full of joy and faith! Sending you warm winter blessings!
