Winter

by Christine   Apr 2, 2006


Her eyes are the palest, coldest blue
Like the shadow on snow
Her skin is smooth and flawless as ice
Like cold porcelain
Her eyelashes are ivory
Dusted with snow
Her hair is frozen sunlight
She wears a long white gown
Silky smooth as a glacier
Around her throat hangs a necklace
Of glittering icicles
Sparkling with cold beauty
locked in their depths
Lie spirals and clouds of
Frozen water currents
Trapped forever in their
Flowing dance
Upon her head
A crown of ice
Embedded with tiny drops of dew
Caught in the shimmering moment
Where they tremble,
Poised on a blade of grass
Twinkling like distant stars
Sparkling with frozen lustre
Like the rarest diamond
She moves, graceful
Ethereal beauty
And whispers a word to the cold, cold wind
Eternity
And the world freezes in awe

    Lovely work, i loved the personfication of winter. Truly Marvelous. It sure is a wondeful thing to write of, as i have once or twice, such a thing of beauty, yet also of fear.

    A great effort and a wonderful poem!!
