Winter Walks After the Storm

Write a beautiful Rubiayat Poem

Sponsored by: Constance La France


Silent flakes descend on frozen ground,
Hushed, wrapped in a snowy shroud profound,
With each careful step, the frost sings low,
A distant echo where my dreams are found.

Leafless trees now covered with snow
A path traced softly, I begin to go,
My breath a cloud in the crystal air,
The moon reflects upon the icy show.

Footsteps linger while old shadows stare,
Under branches where pale winds soft and fair
Each memory glimmers in winter's light,
In the silent woods, their secret lair.

Beyond cold horizons, blankets of white,
A golden promise for eyes so bright,
In quiet beauty, the journey ends,
My winter walk done, with pen I share.
