Hello fellow Bluebell readers,
Well here we are, only two weeks from wrapping up an entire year and a new fresh year is just around the corner waiting for us.
Isn't that a wonderful thought? All of it, the cold and frozen earth, dying only to be reborn as a new season, new chances, new opportunities for joy. The earth carries us along through this timeless cycle of dormancy and rebirth while we watch it through windows in warm dwellings surrounded by the friends, family, music and food of the season.
That idea of a montage, of sound bites of thoughts to express or evoke a mood using as few words as possible to do so is always so amazing to me. That is why I picked this weeks poet for us.
BLIZZARD
by Barbara Reiher-Meyers
Gale warning hail warning
Sky sifts high drifts
Finding bright blinding white
Snowball snowfall
Moonscape snowscape
Frostbite dost bite
Rococo swirls hot cocoa curls
Icy glove spicy love
Huddle in cuddle in
Rock salt clocks halt
