Brian Sambourne Poet Free verse

Winter's Web

ice crystals rest on my window
like a second skin
a season's restless spirit
in water vapour
condensing 
a winter picture frame
spheres of spikey stains
in a silent closing
patterns complete
symmetry looping
luring
ice flowers tangible
that carve their way
down my window
till a warming sun
swallows them whole

Juliet Ligon February 1, 2023 at 9:00 PM I love your idea of the winter windows being like a framed picture. Beautiful descriptions of that icy artwork. Brian Sambourne February 1, 2023 at 9:10 PM Thank you, Juliet, for your insightful, supportive comments. Our polar vortex provided the icy lace on windows. I took it from there. Be well.
