Winter Swoon
When butterflies burst from frigid cocoon
with frozen wings under a crescent moon
drift through the air with crystalline ease
in a time long after the birds and the bees
Ice faeries cling to sparkling fence posts
where frosted air hangs about like ghosts
this dazzling world in a frozen frontier
a fat red man owns a bunch or reindeer
How the North wind blows frigid shards
the cool dragonflies sing like arctic bards
polar bears prowl on soft padded feet
emptiness whistles down a crowded street
Wood smoke drifts through the winter air
light from a window, you can see it so fair
Siberian oasis risen from a crystal wasteland
snow piled high like the dunes of sand
Laugh and sing, there’s no time for sorrow
Northern lights will dance until tomorrow
their swirling colours in a ghostly shimmer
the numb evenings shine with a glimmer
Children play outside with apple red cheeks
in the shadow of snow capped mountain peaks
caught in the dream of winter’s chilled kiss
look in the mirror and take time to reminisce
with frozen wings under a crescent moon
drift through the air with crystalline ease
in a time long after the birds and the bees
Ice faeries cling to sparkling fence posts
where frosted air hangs about like ghosts
this dazzling world in a frozen frontier
a fat red man owns a bunch or reindeer
How the North wind blows frigid shards
the cool dragonflies sing like arctic bards
polar bears prowl on soft padded feet
emptiness whistles down a crowded street
Wood smoke drifts through the winter air
light from a window, you can see it so fair
Siberian oasis risen from a crystal wasteland
snow piled high like the dunes of sand
Laugh and sing, there’s no time for sorrow
Northern lights will dance until tomorrow
their swirling colours in a ghostly shimmer
the numb evenings shine with a glimmer
Children play outside with apple red cheeks
in the shadow of snow capped mountain peaks
caught in the dream of winter’s chilled kiss
look in the mirror and take time to reminisce

No, not really lol. But you did ask a fair question “where did that guy go?”. It made me think. It’s easy to get pigeon holed. You, how can I put this, helped me realize a part of my writing that I’ve drifted away from. I thank you for that.

I just know that you are one amazing writer. I'm actually jealous of your ability.

Thank you very much. I appreciate that sincerely. I must admit that comment caught me a little off guard. In a good way. You are talented in your own write (pun intended). You articulate your emotions very well in your poems. There is an honesty in the way you express yourself. You too, are an amazing writer.
