Susan Gentry Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

12/29/18 Winter Wonderland Contest Emile Pinet

Winter Wonderland

Freshly fallen snow... a carpet of white
Blinding pure covering... satin on fields 
Under crystal stars bright in clear moonlight
Blowing snow gathers into drifts and yields
Scattering of dreams that faithfully wields
Layers of hope which conformity shields

Majestic wonderland... a winter scene
Captures a powerful wondrous glory
Mother Nature's creation of serene
Sublime introspection... the true story
Clarity maps out new territory 
A magical moment... transitory 

A full moon's winter wonderland glistens 
A natural enchantment sky to sea
The beautiful stillness clearly listens 
To limitless space that's frozen yet free
Subtle activity appears the key
This perfect picture is not just for me

Winter wonderland... unforgettable
Awe-inspiring... simply incredible

Beata Agustin December 27, 2022 at 6:42 AM Thanks for sharing this. By God's grace, I greet you with the peace and joy of Christmas and prosperous New Year along this present: "the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23 of the King James Bible). God bless you.

FJ Thomas June 22, 2022 at 8:29 PM Hey Susan, just passing through. Hope everything is okay on your end. Take care

Hannington Mumo August 26, 2020 at 9:23 PM This should have effectively notched the top slot, if for such a distinctly themed contest as is thereunder appended... especially for its unbeatable figurative turns adeptly vinegared with a felicitous profundity of nuance, all well subtly palpable throughout the entire sumptuous piece. Kudos!

Frances Schiavina June 18, 2020 at 9:20 AM Artistically captured the essence of peaceful solitude and its music.

James Inman April 2, 2020 at 10:40 AM A wonderful write Susan. The subtle change from introspective contemplation which you know will not last to the desire and possible need to share this beautiful scene with others in the lines "Subtle activity appears the key This perfect picture is not just for me" creates depth and emotion in your write.

Michael Tor January 12, 2020 at 3:57 PM Winter words of feelings and sights. Nicely written Susan. Loved this write by you.

Connie Marcum Wong December 14, 2019 at 12:22 AM This gorgeous poem is stunning Susan. I hope it gets due recognition. Mele Kalikimaka! : ) xxoo

John Castellenas March 11, 2019 at 2:36 AM Amazing use of words. You allowed the reader to see and believe your words.

Andrea Dietrich March 2, 2019 at 6:49 PM This is a very beautiful description of virgin snow glistening on the land, Susan. Sorry I never saw it earlier. Soupmail for you.

Swetha Vangaveti March 2, 2019 at 12:37 PM Splendid imagery :)

Connie Marcum Wong January 28, 2019 at 10:27 AM I love looking at enchanted landscapes covered in snow, but these temperatures way below zero are a real hardship to live with. A wonderful poem you have penned Susan. I am sorry I can't keep up on all the poems. I have always enjoyed your poetry. Have a lovely Valentine's Day! xxoo

CayCay Godwin January 20, 2019 at 4:34 AM I enjoyed the sincerity I sensed pushing the ink's imagery forward, and really got in to the read. ALSO, I'm so glad to 'see' you, I've clicked on you from time to time and found you gone. Again, I'm glad I was wrong. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
