Gemstones On White Velvet

Gemstones On White Velvet



The precipitation
fell without
hesitation
Soon all would
be covered....
Encased
in ice

No longer a farm
but now a crystal kingdom
Every branch
Every bud who
thought warmer days
would bring Spring
Now captured

The wind did blow
that icy night
Branches burdened
with the weight
of the ice
Shards of crystal
breaking and falling

and this morning....

I awoke to
hundreds
no thousands of diamonds
Translucent gems
strewn about
Crystal ice prisms
reflecting in the
cold winter's sun

Gemstones on white velvet.





Written January 2007 after a weekend ice storm which left our farm in a virtual paradise.

This would make for wonderful reading at a poetry night! Sitting on stage and reading it to the audience... The flow is different from the norm here, it's like a more advanced form... or something. I'm sleepy. I think that imagery is going to appear in my dreams. Me enjoy.

Thank you so much Lord_Skyy for your more than kind comment. I love to write about nature.
Peace and sweet dreams.
