Winter Night
observed at matins
a luminous aura and
frozen gibbous moon
on frozen snow
silver specked moonbeams
leave pale shadows
shadows of birches
stand as sentinels
the snowy crest

Joann, the imagery in your poem is amazing! I just love the description of the birches standing as sentinels on a moonlit winter wonderland. Awesome! Best wishes, Carolyn Devonshire
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this, Joann. It is good to read others' feelings on the cold, but beautiful season we know as winter. Good read. Thanks for sharing.
