No matter where I turn
I can’t escape the flow
Even on my monitor
The screen begins to snow

Across the words I try to read
It flurries in my way
How the heck did snow get in
My LCD display?

Someone mentioned WordPress elves
Playing frosty games
To make the posts more festive
On everyone’s domain

Or maybe someone shook it
Like a snow globe full of glitter
At least it’s not so wintry
Not even cold or bitter

Ok I give, the snow can stay
No worries about frost bite
I will read between the flakes
As they journey on their flight

When Petals Fall

Petals fall in flakes of white

Winter calls, this frosted night

Whipping winds against the pane

Crystals form a frosty mane

Upon the glass that yields the cold

Yet, I shiver as the day grows old

Is it the day or is it me

Who ages like the barren tree

That shivers in the frosted night

When petals fall in flakes of white

Pirouette in the storm

 

Snowflakes dance a ballet

Pas de Bourrée Couru

*******************************

For those who do not know ballet terms they are as follows;
Chasse – a slide forward, backward, or sideways

Ballon – Showing lightness of movement in leaps and jumps. A dancer exhibiting ballon will appear to spring effortlessly, float in mid-air, and land softly.

Pas de Bourree Couru – flowing smoothly

Snowflakes fall around me

Dancing about in the frosty air

Covering me in a blanket of white

Warming me in the chill of night

Into the Storm

Into the Storm, Night Owl Poetry, poems, poetry, snow, snowflakes, storm, wind

snowfall-16320_960_720In the distance far behind me
A tree stands faintly showing
Wrapped within a cape of white
Amid the sharp winds blowing

My umbrella yields no shelter
As I brace against the storm
Snowflakes gather round me
Like bees about to swarm

And still I wander on the dunes
Drifting high above the ground
And lose myself in howling winds
That nary make a sound
