Warm Poetic Jots

The frightful winter solstice approaches with an opaque snow globe life intertwine. Stars sprinkle early, romance encroaches upon one headstrong to dread wintertime. Power poles are overthrown by wind gusts but the fireplace roars in competition. Soon the living room temperature adjusts to our own Norman Rockwell rendition. Candles flicker like a lover's whisper, tickling walls with whimsical illusions, becoming purer, becoming crisper with cinnamon swirled laughter fusions. Board games played on the dining room table welcome nostalgic, restorative thoughts which begin to inspire and enable closeness revived, warm poetic jots. 12-18-19

This is just marvelous Juliet. Poetry comes from our everyday experiences. Sometimes something seemingly so insignificant may inspire a stunningly beautiful poem. Bravo! xxoo

Thanks, Connie. I was thinking back to when I was a child and the power went out. We would play board games under candlelight. To me it was exciting and romantic. Now that I live in town if the power goes out it comes back on within the hour as opposed to two days out in the country. I miss the simpler times.

This was really nice. It went one direction, then another. It felt like the lack of electricity the lack of power, at first was hard, then embraced as a better way to live. Wonderful writing my friend. Merry Christmas and God Bless your New Year. Ann
