snow streams
down
blows cold
on my face
SLASHES
the air
with frost
and finally
lands on the Earth
a frozen message
from Heaven
it's meaning
and beauty
different
for each
Did you get a new thick blanket too? What did your snow pile inspire?

Snow Day!

Robin, first of all I would like to comment on your opening visual that is engaging and leads us into your poem: from barely enough to cover the grass to a knee-high blanket. That is how the landscape first looked on Long Island. Now, there is snow upon snow, upon snow.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, this line resonates with me: SLASHES the air with frost. I love this strong image of what the biting cold can do.
Thirdly, I would like to invite you to add this poem (with an original photo) of the blanket of snow to the Winter Whisperings Gallery that I am designing. This will be my 5th global gallery of poetic expressions. If interested, you can access the information at the bottom of my #SOL15 post: http://linkis.com/blogspot.com/YFmZc. Have a warm winter.
Robin, I do not have your full name but you have mine. Here is my Twitter handle @cvarsalona. Let's connect on Google+, Twitter, and gmail if you would like.
Deleteyep...awe inspiring, but I thought I'd see more happy kids donning sleds...just a few happy snow lovers .... I'm wondering if so many are home alone and parents freak if they go out, it is so sad to me
ReplyDeleteLoved that ending ... "its meaning and beauty different for each." True for me even day to day! I loved being inside watching the snow fall ... but loathed it when I had to go out later!
ReplyDeleteI love the comparison - like a knee-high blanket. I was really hoping for a foot of snow and got 2 inches. Snow does mean different things for everyone - a nice thought to ponder.
ReplyDeleteNo snow for me in Colorado. In fact, we aren't even wearing coats to recess. I am enjoying the nice weather but worry we will burn up again in the summer. Glad you could find the beauty and fun in the snow!
