Winter's Barren Stage

 

The sky was a grey canvas lacking zest
awaiting an artist's touch~ perhaps
some splashes of bright aqua blues

A few sacred leaves thin as tissue
paper with precious little life,still
trying to cling to undressed trees
which temporarily lost their green
splendor,started drifting down to
the ice-covered ground

All life below proved to be in
suspended animation
'twas no escape from
winter's barren stage
now desolate, empty and so
void of all color.

Icy winds blew~ launching
whiirling snowfkaes into a
blustery blizzard

For a moment I hesitated
and held the thought
wondering if I could
change the scenery

I imagine holding a bucket
of blue paint and almost
forgetting~ I grab some
yellow from an imaginary palette
and toss it into the air

Just a creative thought of color
in my mind's eye,but
'Alas Mother Nature
shall have her way

Very lovely outstanding write.

Very colorful and such a lovely wintery write.. but all the paint as you say so well .. cannot change Mother Natures mind..'Alas Mother Nature shall have her way'.
Beautiful, Fran.

Great job. Love your work.

Very good use of imagery and a very marvelous piece indeed. I am experiencing this barren stage of winter as we speak, as most of us probably are. The trees are crystalized with ice and the snow glitters like a frozen and slick-edged jewel. It is desolate and devoid of the beautiful colors that are so necessary for life to be worth living. Did you know that there are people who get depressed because of snow and ice? You have a couple spelling errors in this piece. Run it through a word processor's spell check.

As the wind has been roaring past my window all night, and it is cold out, I could relate well to your words. I never enjoy the lackluster shades of winter, but they do make spring and summer all that more appealing!! Good write.

Oh yes, mother nature WILL have her way, but that doesn't need to stop us from dreaming.

Splash those colors, Fran. I want to see the canvas when you're done.

Hugs....

Unfortunately , Mother Nature always has her way....but for all the adverse conditions we have to endure from the weather, she usually makes up for it with spring and all it's blooming glory. Delightful little write Fran. Very good. Love...Liz
