Five women sat gathered round the fire

The clear light of evening flooded the room

Winter was upon them but excitement flowed

Eve was joining them tonight for the first time

 

Agatha smiles at Eve and says;

"We each bring a new poem and

We read them out, would you like to start Eve".

"I would be glad too" said Eve, my poem is called;

 

"My Observation of Winter"

 

Today I am walking into the heart of a wood

It's so quiet and tranquil

Still as a millpond quiet as the dawn

A bare embroidery of snow filled trees

 In my hair the suns sheen dancing like shadows

Nothing is stirring I can hear my treads voice

Winters snow garnishes everything it covers

The warmth of the winters chill will then give way

The sun's ray of spring gently casts its glow

Then seeds that have lain dormant for so long

 Will burst into life as a new dawn begins

This is such a beautiful poem Edward. It's stirred my imagination. Very inspiring.

There's nothing more tranquil than a walk in a wood or forest at all seasons.
