Snow-Covered Trees

Approaching new year
with a certain savoir-faire
with dreams of babe leaves
stoic trees bear current snow
without ill-will or sorrow

Colleen’s Weekly Poetry Challenge #64 ~experience /new synonyms

Vivian Zems

Mum, author and dentist is how I describe myself. I love creating pictures from words. Sometimes a painter, other times a weaver- words are my tool; trying to create something beautiful. When I was nine, my dad introduced me to audio books. I was hooked. With his guidance, I fell into a world where words became life simply by weaving them together. So here I am, living out my passion- reading and writing! Enjoy the ride with me 😁😁

This seems to be a good way to start a New Year. May it be a blessed and happy one
I especially liked that you wove some french into your poem. The french have some words that say so much in just a few letters

Well done. It’s over 80 days until spring and your words prove that the trees are ready to find their leafy clothes once more. Looking forward to the new year. Bring it on, 2018! ❤
