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.

Love is more beautiful than a scarlet rose on pristine snow.
In a single line, you said everything on its matchless beauty.
Words can be so expendable when an emotion resonates like this.
The chosen artwork totally awed me.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, Divya. You are most kind. I feel the same way about the artwork on this one. As a matter of fact, I'll be using it today. Love and light to you, my dear friend!

[DIVYA]

Just loved the new poem too. Yes, the artwork so beautifully reflects the feeling...
You are most welcome, dear friend.
Its such a pleasure to read your gentle and powerful poetry.

Amazing! just simply lovely....

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, Kescha. I'm a winter girl myself, so this pretty much fit into my wheelhouse.

[Tate Morgan]

Short, yet creative and nicely worded. Well done.

[Kelly Scheppers]

This is one of my favorites. I've always been partial to winter. Thank you, Allie!

Same, I hate summer

[R.E. Ray]

The image brings life to you poem, Kelly. The scarlet against the snow, both beautiful, also cloak beauty beneath. Striking short poem.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you most kindly, Robert.

This felt very unexpected, like I could not fathom what was coming & I felt filled with anticipation as I read, to find out where you were going with this. I find it amazing how you get a reader on the edge of his/her seat in such a short poem! Startlingly original! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Kelly Scheppers]

So kind of you to say, Margie. Thank you so much!

[Ardra]

Your poem somehow captures that feeling so beautifully.... I could taste it like the fresh snow fall.... :)

Loved the photo selection to complement your beautiful poem...

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you most kindly, Ardra!

[Travis Gibson (poetic h..]

This gives me the feeling of longing, or that indescribable feeling we have when we look at our significant other, and try to explain them and our love to make sense. Your word choice really seals this up beautifully.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you so much, Travis! Good seeing you again!

[Moonie]

It's short, but so powerfully beautiful. Paints a very pretty picture, and I really loved the assonance in "noun", "throat", "love" and "snows"; it ties the whole poem together.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I love meeting new poets! Thank you so much!

Given that no two snowflakes are alike, you are as unique in your verse as two snowflakes melting in the palm of your hand.

[Kelly Scheppers]

...profound and deep. Your reviews always make my day, Charles, thank you!
