Winter's Womb

Winter’s Womb 1-18-24 45 Syllables
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Winter’s Womb

In the temple of winter’s womb pearls of crystal plant snowflowers
Swaddled in thick quilts of snow in sacred silence nature swells
Frosty plumes birth from wild whirlwinds, in crystalline rhythmic rimes.

Ink Empress Date: 1/19/2024 11:43:00 AM Dear Sam, this is absolutely gorgeous the way youv Woven words here in your sijo is so exquisite and captivating! I must highlight your use of alliterations and imagery that fits the title as well as how well it flows. Especially “ Swaddled in thick quilts of snow in sacred silence “ sometimes in silence too, patiently we wait for the beginning of new light. It must be snowing alot there? Sending you light always.

Sotto Poet Date: 1/19/2024 8:57:00 AM Dear Sam, you have crafted a magnificently evocative wintry poem; the metaphors and use of alliteration are exquisite, and it was a delight to read on a bitterly cold, frigid morning. We have too much snow in the east part as well. Login to Reply

Hope you are doing well and that things have warmed up a bit. Having grown up by the water I remember how biting the wet, winter cold can be. Seems to go right through you! Thank you for your wonderful feedback. For me, even though winter seems lifeless, it is like a cradle birthing unique wonders while rocking nature as it sleeps. It was a joy "birthing" this poem. Take care, my friend! Warm blessings to you and a hug!!
