Painted Landscape

The sun sets
across the snow
painting it with fire
flames that swirl across the white
changing its color
but no melting

I stand in the window of my house
watching these embers
dance and skip
across the white forested landscape
drinking a cup of coffee
thinking....
I want to go take a walk in my forest

I hear an owl calling out nearby

I always love sunset, tried to write a poem about but had a hard time describing it and painting it down in words. Creative write and I like your wording. Very well penned!

A very beautiful painting with words of winter. Breathtaking.
I really love this!

[Star Wolf]

Awesome poem! Love it, especially the haunting ending or perhaps mystical ending with the owl hooting.

Yes, enjoy the warmth of indoors but going outside to play in the snow, to enjoy what winter has to offer:YES!
A well done poem!!!!!!

This is very well written. Impressive work.
I too would feel the desire to wander off into the snowy forest.....

This creates a very beautiful and tantalizing moment in the heart of winter. I'd long to go out in the snow too. A very nice poem.
