Notes About The Poem

         

Winter's Paradise Premiere Contest Winner

Winter feathers the ground with snow, blanketing everything in white. An impressionist, like Van Gogh, Winter feathers the ground with snow. And sunbeams set it all aglow, icicles sparkling in the light. Winter feathers the ground with snow, blanketing everything in white. Icicles sparkling in the light summon flames to crystals of ice; fueled by the fire's frigid bite. Icicles sparkling in the light encourage snowflakes to ignite. Lighting up Winter's paradise, icicles sparkling in the light; summon flames to crystals of ice. Lighting up Winter's Paradise; a descending sun bleeds blood-red, paying sunset's ultimate price. Lighting up Winter's Paradise, nothing less could ever suffice; a shroud fit for Autumn's deathbed. Lighting up Winter's Paradise; a descending sun bleeds blood-red.

"Flints of Light" is a great way to describe Van Gogh's style, Emile. He is one of my two favorite painters and I bet he saw the world much as you describe in this stunning poem. Congrats on a well-earned top win! Best wishes, Carolyn

Many congratulations, Émile - a very interesting format. Like Anna below, I would like to attempt a Triolet form in the near future. It's early days in my poetry writing experience but I'm determined to branch out more!
