Sonnet #1, Where Tall Trees Dance--By Ken Allan Dronsfield--United States

Sonnet #1, Where Tall Trees Dance

Afternoon's here in the valley of wood

where the tall trees dance; as long walks covet

ambiance of romance and gentle calm.

silence, serene, the only sound being

light snow falling; like twinkling glimmers of

diamonds tapping branches on the way down.

snow covered and my candle is alight

on the window sill near the warming fire.

The reddish orange glow and falling snow

elicit memory of marshmallows,

steamy mugs of delicious hot cocoa.

our boots, hats and scarves hang by the back door.

time to remember those grand youthful days

and the simple ways here; where tall trees dance.
