Winter in the Forest of White River

Winter scene (romance genre)

In the forest of White River
In the land of Neverwas
Where leaves give voice
To the breeze, a thousand
Whispering tongues.

Whispering tongues
Give voice to the trees
Leaves that murmur, sigh,
sounds loosed by the breeze in the forest
of White River in the land of Neverwas.

In the land on Neverwas
In the forest of the White River
Leaves gossip, a thousand
Wagging tongues, loosed by the breeze,
a breeze heady with the scent of fir.

A breeze heady, winter clean, with tang
and the promise of frost on crimsoned leaves,
frost on yellowing grass sparkling, creating
gems of color, brilliant miniscule rainbows
in the forest of White River in the land of Neverwas.

I want to go here, this land of Neverwas, and you brought it to me. Astounding imagery throughout the entire poem. Very beautiful.

The imagery is wonderful in the land of Neverwas. I can pictures leaves of autumn rusling in winter breezes. Nature truely does speak to us in the most piculiar ways. This is very enjoyable.

Sounds like heaven on Earth to me so we know it don't exist but it sure is a nice thought. You really put the image in my head through your words.

Awesome imagery! It is not easy to find poetry with great imagery written today, not that my poetry has good imagery but I still enjoy reading it. Good poem.
