Whiteout! (I.P.)

Hi Tina,

love the fourth stanza:

black and white snowmen
with black and white smiles
black and white magic
in the eyes of a child.

Really lovely verse, but the whole poem sounds really
good, especially in this weather.

Thanks for a beautiful read. Nice one for the IP.

Jenny.

Thank so much, Jenny! The snow look so very lovely here this morning, sparkling in the sunshine...but later when I have to brave the roads to get to Tesco, I think the fascination may be short-lived;-)

Tina

'black and white photos
of black and white views
black and white wishing
goodbye to winter blues'

- really love that final stanza, Tina. It all flows so well - great take on the IP :)

Thanks so much, Magic;-)

See above, as they say...We seem to be doing things in tandem this morning!

Another great one Tina, hope you're able to keep warm. We are up neck as they say in these here parts (-; Valx

Oh dear, Val...you keep warm too;-)

Glad you liked this one.

Tina;-)x

Simple and stunning.
Drive carefully!

Dan:)

Thanks, Dan...and I shall.

Tina;-)

A lovely original way to see the snow, I can imagine children chanting this, it flows so well.

I agree with shoe. I picture small girls with multi-coloured knitted mittens chanting this as they skip together:)

My thanks to you, shoe. Exactly what I had running through my mind when I wrote it;-)

Tina

Skipping rhymes...how I remember them well:-) 'Salt, mustard, vinegar pepper...Those were the days.

Thanks for your 'colourful' comment, Dan. It was always my ambition to be able to knit mittens, but scarves are my speciality;-)

I was so enjoying this poem - then you had to mention Fulham!!!

Just kidding - an enjoyable and very original piece.

Sorry about that, David;-)

My husband was born just a stone's throw from Craven Cottage, in Putney, as a matter of fact, and it would be no surprise to you to know that he is a staunch supporter of Fulham, to say the very least;-)

Glad you enjoyed, nonetheless;-)
