She said, He said

Blame it on tv

i watched in total awe

as ice crystals grew in

fine slow motion footage

bare branches became

draped in winter filigree

a haunting breathless beauty

i gasped at this sheer loveliness

as pristine white layers disguised

dark stark fingers of bark

beckoning boney digits

a fantasy fairy land of coldness

intricate, delicate, perfection

"how can you convey in words

such creation", says i and he replied

without the blink of an eye

without hesitation, he said

with his own brand of sincerity

"don't ask, it all looks friggin freezing"

I had to laugh at the ending of this one, Chris. Winter can be beautiful to watch. The ice forms patterns on the windows and the icicles hang from the branches...truth is though, I would prefer to watch it in a painting because, yes, it is "friggin freezing!: LOL Good one, Chris. Lydi**

chuckling on this one....everything slows down in winter...the deep freeze happens...
the color commentator would yell, "freeze it" and play would stop...
rain pours hard and fast...snow lazily falls out of the sky...
a great poem to start off with for the New Year.

I have to wear warm clothes when watching such things. Otherwise, I'd be friggin' freezing. A fun and hoary thing to read on this January day, my friend.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Samuel. Hope I didn't make you shiver. All good wishes.
