Suzanne Delaney Poet Free verse

Winter Scene

Winter Scene

A white domain, rhythmic tinkling of bells
the pure mystery of diagonals 
and gliding along snow-lanes 
Mystical plumes from flared nostrils, 
snow crunching under animated hooves.
A sled streaming through stillness,
stone-carved beauty alive in shape and form
A temporary world that feels timeless.

Susan Lawrence December 15, 2020 at 7:55 PM Suzanne, Dreamy and mysterious and tantalizing in its detail. I sense and want to be in that temporary world! Congratulations. Susan

John Lawless October 10, 2016 at 5:51 PM Suzanne, this one gave me a "shiver" as the winds chill the evening and the leaves abandon the trees. You "painted" a lovely picture

Janis Medders Tobechi October 8, 2016 at 9:18 PM Many wonderful winter images in this poem. Congrats on your trophy win.

Timothy Hicks February 8, 2016 at 8:23 PM Such a wonderful mood to this poem. I can really see that horse just gliding in on the snow as if it were a cloud. I especially love those winter nights, where even the sky is solid white. I also enjoy how the focus is on the sled and horse, rather than the human. Makes it more mysterious.

Funom Makama January 14, 2016 at 11:29 AM #7 truly underrates this magnificent piece.. Absolutely brilliant

Andrea Dietrich November 30, 2015 at 3:49 PM a serene scene of snow is painted here. Love the imagery.

Mama Bear November 30, 2015 at 12:49 PM Almost makes me like snow. Almost but my dislike of winter still prevails. Nicely done Blessings Edith
