snow fell
last night
whitening the mountains
chilling the green valley
at dawn
wood doves
bubble
city
sleeps
and I observe the dawn
wrapped in my woollen shawl
the trees
still green
shiver
first rays
of light
stream over the hill tops
bathing my world in pink
and fresh
winter

Refreshing! The morning after a light snowfall is always beautiful.

Alas … yes, I had to use that four letter word … write now it’s like being in a fridge … green and cold! Glad you think it’s beautiful though despite the four letter word!

Wow .. you had me clicking my poem to see what I’d written dear. I’d already goofed and wrote in syllables instead of words .. as it should have been – but although this sounds like a lot better than what I’d written “Fresh winter thoughts” I was a little worried that I was losing my early morning clarity.

Fresh air yes…so crisp for snow…not so much yet.
Snow can wait until the end of November or even December.
Thanks for the new form. I think I might use it for a bit at my daily spot. 🙂

Well, we may never get snow in our valley, it happens maybe once a year, but the surrounding mountains cools us down pretty quick! Glad you liked the form! BTW, I wrote my example counting syllables, but it should have been done counting words … you can do whichever is most convenient to you. Hugs and have a great Sunday!
