WINTER.
I This just came into my mind after receiving a call from Michigan and their cold interlude.
Featherlight falling onto fertile fields
Snowflakes sink slowly from the sky
Some settle softly on the sunlit scenery
Delighting the dreaming drifter’s eye.
Others often only oddly oscillate
Blown briskly by a blustery breeze
To float onto frozen field and forest
Covering all in a cold chemise.

Great alliteration, really made me slow down in my reading and think about the meaning and the ‘ picture ‘ you were showing us. I love the last line, made me shiver imaging standing out there in just a chemise. Sue x.
Thank you so much for your comment.Yes I had the scene in my mind,a winter landscape in my old home at the Baltic..I can imagine you shivering in your mind.I always appreciate your comments Sue, but I have not been able to contribute a lot lately due to being quite unwell with side effects of treatment I am better now thank goodness..I miss some of our old colleagues on the site.it seems strange..Take care Sue, and be lucky, Peter xxx
Oddly oscillating snowflakes – you captured winter wonderfully well in Michigan. – slc (a Michigander)
Thank you for your comments Allets, where are you in Michigan? I have relatives in Warren. Be lucky, Pommer.
