frozen lips
in the dancing snow,
wilted flowers fall.
operatic echoes
embrace the cold air,
softly sings my name.
ice crystals
shattered my fair skin,
I'm pulverized in the wind.
my ashes seek warmth,
to live, to survive...

I was inspired when I touched the
snow for the first time in my life.
Hello Brenda - To experience your first snow - WOW - I'm glad it stirred the muse. This is a very gentle flowing poem. V 1 What a contrast - dancing snow and frozen lips. V 2 Arias from the Snow Maiden echoing Breeeeeeeeendaaaaaaaaa across the valley. V 3 Wind and ice crystals - personal pulverisation. V 4 Echoes of the final lines of another perfect poem 'We stay inside near the fire - to cuddle and warm each other'. Even snow has its compensations Brenda - Snowwoman, Thanks for sharing your experience - I was three months old when I saw my first snow - but I was not allowed to make a Snow Angel. love through Poetry - JOHN.
Hello Brenda - Lovely experience to touch your first snow - WOW - so glad it stirred the muse. This is a very gentle poem with a lovely rhythm. V 1 What a contrast - the snow dances while the lips freeze. V 2 Arias of the 'Snow Maiden' The cold air seems to whisper Breeeeendaaaaaaaaa V 3 We can only stand it for so long - Ice crystals in the wind - winging and stinging V 4 To borrow lines form another perfect poem 'We stay inside near the fire - to cuddle and warm each other'. Even snow has its compensations! ! ! Thanks for sharing your 'Snowwoman' experience. Love in Poetry - JOHN.

eerily cold, haunting yet elegant, pungent yet beautiful, sombre yet has a strange vim. Great poem!
Frozen lips- in the dancing snow, Like wilted flowers fall. Operatic echoes- embrace the cold air, Softly sings my name. Ice crystals- shattered my fair skin, I'm pulverized in the wind.
