Jeanne Mcgee Poet Sedoka

Winter Magic

"I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, 'Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.'"
- Lewis Carroll


In winter’s cold blast
Window’s form icy crystals
Fairy dust falls as star flakes
	
Lawns all white, glisten
Moons’ silver bestows magic
Snow veil warps you in slumber

Jan Allison September 2, 2019 at 5:13 PM Such gorgeous imagery Jeanne, I like snow but only in poems and on Christmas cards!:-) hugs Jan xx Jeanne Mcgee September 2, 2019 at 6:03 PM I like it for a few days as long as can play in it...snow angels and making snow mermaids are fun!

Jennifer Proxenos September 2, 2019 at 1:20 PM I love to watch snow falling Jeanne, but in South Africa in the Gauteng, a province of our country, it snows maybe once in every 4 or 5 years, cars even stop in the yellow lines on the highways, because it does not last long. About 2 years ago it snowed as we were returning home from a meeting, se we pulled off the highway, and made snow balls to throw at one another, two grown up people acting like children. I have faved this poem brilliant. Hugs Jennifer. Jeanne Mcgee September 2, 2019 at 2:25 PM Jennifrer, thanks so much for sharing a bit of your childhood memories...it is still a fav thing to throw snowballs or make snow angels...though since moving to Mexico I don't spend my winters in snow anymore...but still love a few days of it when I get a chance.

Sandra Adams September 2, 2019 at 12:57 PM beautifully penned, it almost made me want to give winter a chance... congrats on your win :) hugs Jeanne Mcgee September 6, 2019 at 7:56 AM A 3 day vacation is about all I want to enjoy the snow...curl up by the fire with hot chocolate after a good snow ball fight....lol

Anne-Lise Andresen September 2, 2019 at 12:20 PM - Softly described, Jeanne ... - Winter is not my favorite time ... it's cold, long and dark - Congratulations on your great 2nd place :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Jeanne Mcgee September 6, 2019 at 7:57 AM Good Morning Anne-Lise...I have to agree with you...it's my least fav season unless I only have to spend 3-4 days playing in fresh snow with a hot tub close by to warm up in.

Ann Foster September 2, 2019 at 11:37 AM Oh lovely. A winner by all my accounting to be sure. A fav... Ann Jeanne Mcgee September 6, 2019 at 8:00 AM Thanks so much Ann. Snowfall was always a short lived pleasure in the NW...but I always think it is so lovely.
