A freshening south wind
Caresses the frozen land
A bright and sunny day
The warmth of spring
Blankets the snow bound terrain
The spring thaw has begun
A river flows beneath
The burden of winter
The snow laden evergreens
Line the river’s edge
The relentless winter winds
Has turned the exposed snow
Into sculptured forms of art
The smooth crust of snow
Formed into humps and valleys
Where the shadows play
Embellishing the exposed snow
The river has burst forth
From its winter blanket
Surging water slowly appears
Creating pools of tea colored water
To disappear once again
Beneath the melting ice
To reappear downriver
Charging on in the
Warmth of spring
With the sun dropping
Below the distant tree line
There is a chill
In the spring air
Long shadows are cast
With a hint of blue
Upon the stark white land
Interspersed with exposed rocks
The approach of evening
Heralds the end of the day
With a display of subdued lighting

Beautiful…
Thank you
Lovely – from here in Oman it looks very picturesque.
With luck I will get some snow when I am home in England over the Xmas period.

You must get the same effect with the sand
I am over from Leanne Cole’s blog, I was really appreciating all of your work that she showcased and then when she said you also write poetry, I was sold! I love the woven words in this post, capturing the surges of spring. The images pair beautifully with the visual painting of your words. Looking forward to admiring more of your work!
Thank you Carrie. The poetry comes in spurts. I have one ready to publish in a couple weeks. It is titled A river’s Destiny
Carrie send over your email. I just finished a poem you may like. I will not be publishing this one for awhile. At some point I will have to get photos to match
Hi Ken, Thanks so much for thinking of me 🙂 I’ll see if I can find your contact information on your blog and send you an e.mail. Would love to read some more of your work. Thanks!
Discovered your exquisite photography skills through Leanne Cole’s blog – truly amazing vista captures
