Incessant cold takes hold again…
Written for The Mag #204 Image provided by Tess Kincaid.
observing world through frosted glass,
while opaque cloak obscures the grass.
The snow falls silent on the pane—
another day turns dark and gray;
delight has faded to disdain.
This frigid season slow to pass,
as winter tightens hold again.

I enjoyed this.
ReplyDeletethere comes a point when snow and cold lose their cuteness, you know...and spring just needs to come on...ha
ReplyDeleteI sometimes think I would like two weeks of cold and snow in the middle of summer. It's hot where I am.
ReplyDeleteHaha - Had to chuckle at Brian's comment. He was still defending the snow when he came upon my post.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this one!
=)
Snow surprise I enjoyed this, Ginny, you never fail to please and delight! It was supposed to snow for the first time this winter here today, but he's still waiting in the wings for some reason!
ReplyDeleteAgain with Polar Vortex's little brother...but I am loving it...
ReplyDeleteah you had lots of snow already this winter.... we only in the mountains.. will be cool to see spring anyway...
ReplyDeleteYou managed three prompts with one wonderful write. I know so many are over these one-after-the other snowstorms. May spring be even more spectacular...when it finally comes.
ReplyDeleteI love the octain and this is so well written. It flows like the falling snow!
ReplyDeleteSmall, sharp, stunning! Bracing like a winter wind.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Ginny
ReplyDeleteThe verse reflects the Wyeth image so perfectly...You have such a mastery of these vignettes. Eight lines and you've captured so much of the essence of the natural winter world. Great composition.
