Madame Winter

Madame Winter

 

 

 

Dressed to the nines, is she
with limbs of trees

bowing before her,
as the breath of spring

prodigiously coos an orchestration

of well versed forget-me-nots
in her ear.

This was pure pretty... Hi Kell

[Kelly Scheppers]

A thousand thank you's, my dear friend!

[Chris]

Anytime hon...

[David Scott]

I often wonder about Winter's lover... Whom would it be? What would it take?
You paint a believable suggestion in this personification.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, David. Perhaps her heart could be melted as easily as any woman's, within the hands of the right man, that is. It's all in the technique, right? Thank you for the compliment!

Beautiful imagery. The last half was My favorite with the whisper of forget-me-nots of spring. I can see the limbs full of snow despite the fact that here they are generally just nude.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, Jaycee...so glad to see you!

[DrD]

Interesting write stirring visions and recollection. I enjoyed it very much.

[Kelly Scheppers]

How wonderful to see you again! ...wow, thank you for making my day a little more extraordinary!

Sooo enthralling, the gorgeous illustration, Kelly dearest.
Your taste invariably embraces something meaningful within.
Gorgeous title, hon … trees bowing their limbs graciously to her greatness sets such imagery only Springtime's breath could rival; then, what's she to do but take her cue on a grand entrance from such cooed enticements.

Considering "this", there is not doubting why I am ever redrawn to your pages, Kelly.
MMmmm! ⁓ Richard

[Kelly Scheppers]

You know, this is a very nice avatar, but I really do miss "seeing" you! ...the next best thing to that, is hearing from you...thank you, my dear friend! x

[Richard🖌]

Okay, Kelly … just for You! ; )

[Kelly Scheppers]

...awww, I'm feeling special! x

[Richard🖌]

You ARE special … never doubt it! :)

This is pure enchantment, dear Kelly. How I love when the seasons each come alive and show their beauty and wonder to us in elegant personification. Winter is dancing in your words. xo

[Kelly Scheppers]

I feel winter is sometimes so misunderstood. How lovely a thought you provide me with..."winter dancing in my words"!

[Echoes of Eros]

And that is does. May winter's dreamish wishes whisper over you endlessly. :)

[Willard Wells]

A lovely view of changes by mother nature. Her beauty has an evil edge so beware of approaching winter storms. Even as she wears her lovely white attire.

[Kelly Scheppers]

...thank you, Willard! Your kindness is much appreciated!

Beautifully evocative piece Kelly. All the little tastes and smells of winter, wrapped up perfectly with such a lovely ribbon and bow, in so few words.
Superb.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I am flattered you enjoyed it, Lorry...thank you so much!

[alifeacoustic]

You're welcome :)

Strange how the winter can pause the world but certainly not stagnantly...perception is the key I guess...Spring is not so easily forgotten and has a tender voice if we would hear it...a beautiful piece that is welcoming in the heart of a reader that is waiting for Spring to raise her head x

[Kelly Scheppers]

The contrast between the two are most engaging for us poets to capture! Thank you, Poppy!

As cold or desolate as winter may appear and linger, the promise of springtime lifts the heart to higher ground...the cycle of life enumerated. Seasons, wrapped in clothing all their own, shows nature's finest haberdashery.
Winter is just now making itself obvious here in the east (it is now 9 degrees here in Western Pennsylvania) so we are not quite yet listening for the spring birds out on the lawn, though such thoughts are not far away. A very nice piece of writing, Kelly. (Lovely piece of artwork also) take care...dan

[Kelly Scheppers]

I see you're expecting more snow by this weekend, Dan...take care and keep warm, ok? You know, I've never had the word "haberdashery" used in a sentence...how cool! ; )

[dan]

Yeah, I don't even know how that word leapt into my mind. Do I get bonus points for using it correctly in a sentence? How about a sealed jar of that Cali sunshine? I can handle the cold and snow, it the constant GREY tone in the sky, the trees...yuck. take care...dan

[Kelly Scheppers]

If I could bottle it, it would be well on its way! ; )
