Snow Love

Winter is cold, but I sometimes think snow has personality. This poem came to me on my drive into work this morning (driving through some flurries of course).

Snow Love

 

David’s icy stars

melting on my nose and tongue

heavenly romance

I've always felt a sense of cold tranquility when standing and watching snow fall. It's usually quiet, most of the birds have left for warmer havens and those left don't speak much until they start attracting mates and marking territory in the Spring.

I've always liked the way you use religious imagery. Being brought up VERY Catholic, those images are a huge part of me, not in a faith sort of way, but more like being Jewish I think. Anyway, long review for a short verse! Well done, and thank you for bringing back fond memories of snow for me. :)

Thanks, Mark. There really is something unique about the way that snow falls- it's gentle, determined, and despite the drudgery of cleaning the walkway, it is beautiful.

[Alfred Kukitz]

You remind me of the snow angel flapping arms and legs in the snow. This piece charmed me. I saw the girl in you dipping your pen into the inkwell.

Regards,
Al

Al, thank you for your kind review! It's true, I do enjoy snow angels, despite my love-hate relationship with winter in general.

[David Scott]

I have never thought of snowflakes as "David's Star". What a lovely thought!

[Mark]

...when that which is perfect, because it is frozen, becomes warmed, but in so doing loses its original form and identity, is that an allegory of what love does to us?

[Mary]

great perspective! I never thought about that, but I guess it's true

[Stacey Watts]

Very beautifully written. I like this sweet poem.

[Mary]

Thanks, Stacey. After this winter in New England, I have actually grown to like snow. Happy to welcome spring in though.

very well expressed in short manner...
endearing and sweet...
winter is indeed cold but the beaty it brings is breath-taking sight...
a cuddle while watching the snow fall from the skies...
this is great!

[Mary]

thank you, Pax, for your kind review ;-)

[RachelReaper]

for three lines, I think you captured the amount of elegance that the snow has. My favorite line was, "David's icy stars", your biblical references never cease to amaze me.

[Mary]

Thanks, Rachel, for the kind review.

Very well done. Winter snow can be a special sight to see and experience.

Thanks very much! Winter and I are beginning to become friends. I think I just needed to look for its beauty.

fierce or inviting the weather is our companion,and thank you for reminding us of the perky benefits it gives us.

Thanks so much for the kind review. I may eventually work out a peace treaty with winter, as of now, we are not the best of friends, but who can turn down a kiss from a snowflake, eh?
