A January of Snows

...still feeling the chill of winter

A January of Snows

 

 

syllables and nouns

leap from my throat

in an ebullient attempt

to define

a love

more beautiful than

a January of snows.

A January of snows ... such lovely images spring to mind... no need for written syllables or nouns the thoughts say it all .

[Kelly Scheppers]

I drink in the warmth you bring me. Thank you most kindly, Stella!

[Carson Kramer]

There is much beauty, in this compact ode to the white stuff. There is romance. There is metaphorical allure. A finely crafted piece, Kelly.

[Kelly Scheppers]

You can write them just as beautiful, just as captivating. Thank you, Carson!

[Carson Kramer]

Perhaps, but I'm not so good at these compact little pieces. Though I pride myself in my succinct word choice at times, I always end up having more to add. Haha.

I must admit I am not a big fan of city snow.... but, watching it come down in the country, as it coats the trees white, ground white, just lying there un disturbed by human touch, is indeed beautiful.... and I must add Kelly, your nouns and syllables have gone a long way in enhancing this fantasy....
it snowed here today and the field behind our house was all wintery, and later today I will take Daisy out so she can roll around in the snow.... thanks for your poem Kelly... Daisy and I will throw snow balls at you from the east coast... ;0p

[Kelly Scheppers]

I agree, Curt. It is most beautiful when its undisturbed. I like when the sunlight reflects off of it, you see these little glints of snow that look like diamonds. So pretty! I'll do my best to catch that snowball...thanks for the great review! ; )

[Lorry]

Not a syllable or noun wasted or out of place in this little piece of loveliness Kelly....However, having pretty much had a January of snow, I wouldn't deem it quite as beautiful....If I could see, which I can't. Not sure if im suffering from being snow or loveblind, but my money is on both. :)

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you for making my day a warmer one, Lorry. Many blessings to you!

Love in a cold climate (Orwell/Nancy Mitford) eh?
As always you combine your pictures and words to produce a beautiful poem with impact and warmth.

[Kelly Scheppers]

...with a little more emphasis on warmth! Thank you so much John.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ah Kelly. You have forsaken me!

[Kelly Scheppers]

...never! x

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Stole your title for my latest post. Just loved it.

[john l smith]

Very nicely done.
Certainly fresh fallen, unblemished snow is as beautiful as it gets but I am sure your description would be every bit as beautiful.

We just had abt. 2 feet of fresh fallen snow, which does look beautiful but perhaps this particular display is a bit overdone

[Kelly Scheppers]

Two feet of snow is a lot all at once. Were you able to find your car? Wow, thanks so much, Dave.

[john l smith]

found the car, it's the house we can't find

[Chris Shaw]

Nothing like the cold outside to keep the heart's fires burning. Love the contrast between hot and cold here Kelly. Great image as well. All good wishes.

Chris

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, Chris. Many blessings to you!

Warm words for a cold day now that is sweet, just need a warm cup a. A lovely write Kelly.

[Kelly Scheppers]

...thank you, Andrew. It's so good to have you here!

[Neville]

I am so glad I found these words on the day they were born, no doubt I would have found them eventually, but that's another story & anyway, given that less is sometimes more, today's little discovery should keep me warm till spring....

[Kelly Scheppers]

How sweet of you to say, Nev. I truly hope so!

[Onlyme]

Superbly done Kelly, snow fantastic. Could really picture and feel it in my heart, mind and on my body.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I greatly appreciate that, Dawn. Thank you so much!
