Winter, When You Are Pristine

Inhaling quietude, I face
a welcome tranquil scene.
A beautiful secluded place
greets my eyes with iridescent sheen
beneath a wintry sky serene.

Here along this country lane,
diamond flecks have interlaced
and softly fallen on terrain.
The dull and barren land has been effaced;
by dazzling snow my world is graced.

The air is fresh and crisp and clean.
Enchantment rules the day!
Winter, when you are pristine
and when grey clouds have fled away. . . 
I welcome you to stay.

Beautiful poem and congratulations on your win. Your winter is beautiful. We had a little snow and a cold snap and now snow is gone and every thing has been frozen and is blackened by the cold. Hardly beautiful . Love, joyce

Nice, very nice. You make winter seem warm and cozy. How embarrassing, I wrote a poem of advice to the young poet and then find I had left a typo in when I posted. I did not notice until I pulled it up to read your comment. Thank you. Love, Joyce

Glad to hear your Kia has so many good features. Hope the fight over the motorcycle has cooled. Did you know about the Kia bird? It sits on the north pole and says, "Kia RIST! It's cold up here! Love, Dave
