Notes About The Poem

January 12, 2024
Placed 4th: Winter Magic—Rhyme Poetry Contest, By Tania Kitchin


 

Winter Magic

Sculpting tinges periwinkle, eventide paints on arc of ruby skies,
Sunset dreams of freezing eve, longing warmth of moonrise;
As realms gelid waltz, where light-beams with shadows dance,
Shuddering boughs, quivering vistas, swaying barren expanse.

Prairies frozen glimmer, resplendence of pristine falling snow,
Where decaying colors of fall, in remnants of autumn glow,
When twinkling cosmic rivers, on tapestries of Milky-Way flow,
As frosty moonlight glistens knolls, of shivering terrains aglow.

Quietude dwells in grip of winter, where lakes and rivers froze,
Where beauty shines reflecting light, gleaming blustery woes,
Of shorter days, of time glazed, mellowed in golden sunshine,
Ceding to lingering nights, glinting in glamor of heavens divine.

What beautiful, wistful images, Vijay, "glinting" in the "grip of winter," "twinkling" in winter's "periwinkle." A winter twilight so wonderfully captured! If this is for a contest, best wishes. Blessings of health and happiness to you!

Our world becomes such a magical place, when snow falls like confetti. When the reflection of the sun is beyond breathtaking, as it dances on frozen rivers and lakes. Your thoughts take me there, Vijay. I can feel the magic of winter all around me. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

Always so nice to see you post my friend..The portrayal of quietude in the grip of winter, with lakes and rivers frozen, beautifully captures the hushed stillness of the season. The interplay of shorter days, glazed in golden sunshine, and lingering nights, glinting in the glamor of heavens divine, paints a nuanced picture of the cyclical nature of time during winter. Overall, your poem skilfully captures the multifaceted beauty of winter, blending imagery and emotion seamlessly..
