Poem -
Muted Morn
This muted morn
Where eyes wake to pale skies
The breath of life crystallised
Encrusting frozen dust
Which creeps across
Like lustrous white rust
Winters husk
Has clutched
these once fertile lands
To blanch it
With its blanket
of sugar powdered sand
Jewelled branches gleam
Across a glass stream
That cuts a trail
like an ornate veil
Through the quilted crevice
of a snow white dale
Where stillness forms
A ghostly hue
To await the spring
Who shall birth anew

"Jewelled branches gleam
Across a glass stream
That cuts a trail

This particular part literally brought in a cold front and gave me chills as I read it Gwen. As always you write yet another masterpiece:) ~Rob
Rob you picked my favourite part to this poem. I loved how that stanza evolved. Poetry can be just like a painting when it’s many layers form a picture. Thanks for this fab comment to this one. So pleased you enjoyed :) x
It evolved perfectly, such imagery Gwen, you have a way with words.
Thanks Rob for all your kindness and support. We can doubt ourselves at times. Thanks for the happy vibes my friend x
Tina, thanks for stopping by and for pinning this one xx
Gwendoline..
Your words, takes my breath away..
I've never heard your voice
but in my ear, it's as sweet as the honeycomb
Listening to you read this piece aloud.
Thanks for sharing.
Pinned! Of course.
Wow Wilford these are truly lovely words to find. I have never done an audio of my work. Not brave enough. But thank you for imagining my voice and for sharing how this piece made you feel. Made my morning to read such kind words :)
Stay safe and well

As far as I am concerned, there are simply far too many great turns of poetic phrase encapsulated here for me to pluck just one or two of them out in order to showcase ..
You have without any doubt done winter justice Gwen .. tis like peering into one of those roughly shaken winter themed paperweights I once used to delight in as a kid ............................................................................... and correspondingly delightful x
Awe Neville I am thrilled I was able to enchant your imagination back to a happy time in your childhood 😊 I love nature and it’s seasons. Thank you so much for stopping by an older post and leaving your much appreciated words of kindness
