CHILL

Just for fun on a chilly Sunday!

what childlike delights shall winter conjure 

snow the colorless crayola of weather's fare

laughter of snowmen in the air mark the joy

we ponder the icy mix and warm thoughts evolve

hot cocoa, warm spiced cider, good friends to call

snowflakes dance on my toes and tickle my mind

lively Jack Frost with all it's crystalline wonderment

Author's Note

My friend sent me this photo of a wonderful scene she created in her backyard, it begged an icy mix.

--- what's snow? -- lol - very delightful, once again, amazingly well crafted poem.
i am in Central FL now...transported from South FL, and for me it gets pretty cold here, when i'm outside and claim to the sky "if it's this cold, it SHOULD be snowing. but alas, it never does, at least not where i am. again, i love the delightful, whimsical imagery portrayed here, left a smile upon my face. Thanks for sharing! :)

"...air what winters fray..." s**t that is good...

[InsanityWriter]

Nice. ;) I love snowball fights. ^_^

[Frieda P]

So glad I gotcha then ;-P

[Jack...]

Nice and wintry, you have brought back memories of my youth. Besides, anytime you use the name Jack in a poem, it has got to be good.

[Frieda P]

lol, but of course! thanks Jack...

You make snow sound like so much fun but for me all I can think of is how cold it must get. Doesn't snow much where I am at the beach but if it did, I would go and play in it simply because you have made it sound so enticing. Another great poem Frieda. :)

[Frieda P]

Carolann, I'll send ya some, I've about had it with the lovely stuff! ;-)

[Carolann Dowsett]

Haha I bet, wouldn't last long here though its hot enough to burn your arse if you sit on the concrete. :)

[Frieda P]

ha the hotter the better, you give me the beach and I'll burn in hell for it lol

[Carolann Dowsett]

No need for the Frieda lol the beach is free if you want it just come get it :)

[Frieda P]

Ah but life gets in the way, you know how that goes... happiest times I can recall, many of them spent at the beach...

[Carolann Dowsett]

Yeah that is so true, life always gets in the way. I've pretty much always lived at the beach and I don't think I'd be that happy away from it. It brings so much peace to the soul. I hope you find your way back to it again soon.

Oh what fun! :-)
It was 70 here today... Go figure.

[Frieda P]

Seriously, do I need to hear that now? Freezing my tookus off! ;-P

[Tarry Franck]

We rarely get snow so it's a great delight to us when it does happen. Love the GOTCHA!!!!
Well done yet again my friend :)

[Frieda P]

I'll send ya some, I'm kind of sick of it now ;-)

[Tarry Franck]

lol

[Frieda P]

We've got an assortment of snowmen, with various noses, and some even wearing my apparel, what's your pleasure? ;-)

[Tarry Franck]

I like surprises :)

[Frieda P]

Do you? I'll pack one of the minions to go with it? lol

[Tarry Franck]

lol

You have written beautifully Frieda and the poem conjures lovely images.
Though personally I could not relate to this poem much coz I live where I live. And the times I did visit countries with snow, I spent a big part of my stay, cringing indoors, dreading moving, coz it was so cold. :(

[Frieda P]

I tend to forget some people have never had to deal with snow! I think I've had enough for this season already...snowing again here.

[AYVID N]

Sometimes it gets to be too much...I know...just try to get on with things and enjoy!

[KeeD]

Haha tis the spirit of the season that lives on with us throughout the year.
Very cute write, I love the Gotcha!!! haha this poem makes me feel jealous that I haven't seen snow as yet.. I'm going to be like a caveman discovering fire when I see it for the first time lol

[Frieda P]

I'll send ya some, I've had my share, you want to shovel? ;-)

[Rob Santana]

Nice poem. I love the snow. I used to love visiting my aunt and uncle in Oregon when I was young. I really like the second stanza. I kept reading it over and over,

[Frieda P]

Thanks Creeper, glad you enjoyed it, you can have some if you'd like!
