Frost fresh and emerald on the hills.
The sun, born from a womb of stars,
Hangs lazily over the iced goblet
Of the valley floor.
The air is thin with frost
And the promise of a new day.
In the hawthorn hedge a breeze murmurs
A soft lullaby, soothing.
And the cry of the buzzard is a teardrop
Frozen on the mid air loneliness.
On a far distant cairn a shadow moves
Blue sharp and desolate,
A jet plane glides across the rink of sky
Trailing a ghost plume far behind.
And walking away I leave my image
Branded in frost on the hillside
Of this dawn winter rising.

Dawn Winter Rising.

Dawn winter rising
Frost fresh and emerald on the hills.
The sun, born from a womb of stars,
Hangs lazily over the iced goblet
Of the valley floor.
The air is thin with frost
And the promise of a new day.
In the hawthorn hedge a breeze murmurs
A soft lullaby, soothing.
And the cry of the buzzard is a teardrop
Frozen on the mid air loneliness.
On a far distant cairn a shadow moves
Blue sharp and desolate,
A jet plane glides across the rink of sky
Trailing a ghost plume far behind.
And walking away I leave my image
Branded in frost on the hillside
Of this dawn winter rising.

Peaceful, serene, and nice imagery... and perhaps a tad chilly. ;-)

Can feel the cold aloneness with the hint of life and warmth almost with the pattern of your breath as you absorb this environment with your identity stamped for a brief while and then the raising of expectation as a new day dawns,you form the connection, then we are standing where you are and can see clearly. what more can you want from a writer, excellent

Hi Dennis,

Quite simply a fine piece of verse! Read it 3 times
and got colder with each read.

You paint pictures in vivid dictum - and, isn't that
what poetry is all about?
