Winter Solstice...

very wintery, sparse descriptors, just like winter - i saw a woodpecker in the garden recently, wonderful wintery scenes these days to inspire - enjoyed yours -happy holidays Tina :)x

ld - your words meant so much. Think of you, often.

Thank you;-)

really beautiful and elegant,:-)

Really love the imagery in this one Tina - ld is right, it does convey the bleakness of winter so well!

Your words, much appreciated;-)

Thank you, so much.

Tina

My thanks to you, Magic.

It really does look like a winter wonderland where I live. This morning I had nine, rather dejected-looking red-legged partridges peering in the window at me, having great trouble walking in the deep snow. The pheasants, on the other hand, aren't so fat and dumpy, with much longer legs, and they are coping much better. As for the squirrels, they're loving it.

Glad you enjoyed this one. I thought you might.

I love this kind of poetry and I just realised how much I miss your poetry purely about nature. A soothing, captivating and beautifully crafted poem. The last stanza is majestic. Well done.

How kind you are, Nathan;-) Yes, nature is so inspiring and being so lucky as to live surrounded by fields, moorland and sky...poems seem to write themselves.

Really pleased you enjoyed it.

Heading off to some empty moorland myself tomorrow. This is exactly what I'm looking for. It's such a great time of year and you've captured it.

Rob - how wonderful. I do hope you find what you seek. I only know I have. I am glad I conveyed that to you. Thank you so much.

Hi Tina,

this poem is so true of the Winter, I could capture
every word and see its true beauty.

How I love...love...loved it.

Thankyou so much. Oh by the way, I loved the title.

Jenny.

Thanks for reading this one, Jenny. I had quite forgotten it...seriously.

So pleased you 'found it', and more than pleased you enjoyed;-)
