a winter's frost

you know, frost?

a winter’s frost

 

a delicate blanket of seasonal matter

one of nature’s splendors, a serene device

the crystalline droplets, a frozen spatter,

like spider webs, these strands of ice.

 

a remarkable scene to dwell upon

through the graceful winds of winter’s dawn;

the delicate frame of frost’s sylvan abode,

attached to branches, on such beauty bestowed.

 

this tree-borne defense from the sun’s stark rays

contains and sustains a bright canopy;

so brilliantly defined on these winter days

while resting till morning in night’s purity.

A wonderful capture of winter, Dan. I love seasonal writes...hope you're able to stay warm, my friend!

Are you watching THE game tomorrow?

Thank you for the read and nice review. And yes, I'm watching and hoping that the Seahawks whip New England's asses. I've disliked the Patriots for years now. This game is no different. Seattle wins by 6 points. Have fun watching. take care...dan
