Winter Loving Premiere Contest Winner

While wisps of white come floating from the sky, Inside our house so cozily we sit Nearby a blazing fire, enjoying it Throughout the twilight hours, just you and I, Embracing silence, watching embers die. Relentless is the snow; it will not quit! Luxuriating in serenity, Oblivious are we to mundane woes. Vast as the snow, which from the heaven flows, Is what we’ll share for an eternity. Night Falls, but even in the dark we see, Gloom vanishes as winter loving grows. Written Dec. 27, 2016 for Janice Canerdy's Winter-Related Acrostic PoemPoetry Contest Rhyme scheme abbaab cddccd with Iambic pentameter

I just found this what an amazing acrostic. I enjoyed it quite a lot as a matter of fact I just wrote my first acrostic. Now I know the fun that others have writing their acrostics and the fun you must of had writing this one. Nicely done Andrea.

"Chestnuts roasting by an open fire," is what this fine piece reminds me of. I can hear the music as I read it. Love, Dave
