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 Poem composed January 29, 2023

I love the way this poem flows unobstructed from one image to the next. The senses of the reader are awakened to changing forms of winter ice. Nice work!

Many thanks, Gary. We're in the midst of a polar vortex - truly frigid winter. Windows are frost sketched. My appreciation for your affirmative voice. Be well. Brian

Thank you, Juliet, for your insightful, supportive comments. Our polar vortex provided the icy lace on windows. I took it from there. Be well. Cheers Brian

I am glad for you that the sun swallowed the wintery ice whole. I wonder if the sun got brain freeze. Thanks for sharing and for stopping by my page. Your visits add so much to my page. This work reads like a good contender for Brian's contest to me. Way to go. Sara
