Winter's Garden

glitter-dust - what a lovely way of describing snow!

Hi there, insert. It really did look just like that. I thought it was a trick my eyes were playing on me at first, but my husband could see the same thing too.

Thanks for reading and for your glittery comment;-)

Hello Silver Spun Sand.
I recently visited a place in the wilds far enough away from light pollution to be able to see the stars in all their glory.
Your little tale reminds of that night, and it also reminds me to find someone who keeps crystal butterflies.
Now where do I start...?

Hello there, ScoZen. Great name, by the way.

I'm lucky where I live, out in the sticks, so to speak. I do get a wonderful uninterrupted view of the night sky.

As for butterflies, I love them all...crystal, paper or better still, the real thing, of course.

My thanks to you for reading, and for your lovely comment.

Tina

Wonderful descriptions of snow, I love the final lines. Stunning! Well done on the cherry- richly deserved.

Beeme - thanks;-) The snow has looked so beautiful this last couple of days and I am really pleased I have managed to convey at least some of this beauty in these few lines.

Have a good week - snow or not;-)

Thank you Tina, I hope you have a great week too. I really am enjoying the snow as you might have guessed from my poetry lol. Although I still need to get my mum her Christmas present and my little brother and as I live on the top of a hill, I really am hoping the snow thaws by at least mid week!

Crystal butterflies. What lovely imagery and of course glitter dust. Loved this beautiful poem Tina

Good luck with the weather and the shopping, Beeme. I am fortunate, I live at the bottom of a hill!!

Tina xx

Thanks for that, Pia;-) So pleased you enjoyed. Keep warm and cosy and have a good week, despite the weather.

Tina;-)

Just magical, so many beautiful lines I can not choose one, except maybe the butterfly.

Shirley - glad you enjoyed this one so much. Butterflies seem a million miles away on this snowy winter's day, but we can all dream, thank goodness;-)

Tina

Oooh stunning last line! Beautiful poem,

Delicate, and so eloquently described! Well done on this one, Tina - very well-deserving of a cherry ;)

My thanks to you, Magic. I have a 'soft-spot' for butterflies, as you very well know;-)

What a beautiful description of a winter scene,
I really liked this piece Tina.

Thanks for the read.

Jenny.

Thanks, Jenny. You are more than welcome;-)

Tina

Really nice verse. So much 'academic' poetry has that ersatz quality - like the poet threw a pail of clever obscurities on the page and passed it off as profound reflections.
This poem has a genuine, authenticity that rings true from beginning to end. Nothing hackneyed here - just really nice imagery that the reader can visualized at multiple levels.

Thanks, barry. My philosphy has always been, 'poetry shouldn't mean, but be;-) Glad you agree, and thanks so much for your lovely comment and for reading, of course.

Tina

So I read it and meander haha a great word I had forgotten, anyway the whole word by word is beautiful, I
thought of writing butterflies in a blizzard in one of my poems and changed it so am glad you let one be in the snow ;) K x

Hey, you must work on your poem about butterflies in a blizzard. Thinking about it, if they were white butterflies, as so many are, it could even be a 'blizzard of butterflies'. That would make a great title, don't you think?

Glad you enjoyed, Kahdai, and as always, thank you;-)xT

yes they wer like cabbage butterflies :) hmm... working on it, I can never leave a poem unfinished once got it writen down ;) x K
