Hello Dear Friend! Welcome to the first installment in my 'Week of Winter Poetry'. I so enjoy writing poetry in my free time, and although someday I hope to publish my poems in book-form, this week I will just be sharing them here with you. I think these will be the perfect posts to read with a cup of tea and perhaps some biscuits - so please get cozy! I hope you have a delightful time reading these poems for I had a wonderful time writing them. And now to our first one:
Winter's Day Reading
From my poetry notebook
It's true I like to go for walks
In Winter's whitest snow
For I find that nature seems to talk
In the stillness as I go.
But there are days (much like today)
When staying cooped up is better.
For all the snow has melted away
And been replaced with rainy weather.
So what is one to do you ask
When kept holed up at home?
My favorite thing it to grab a book
for in my head I can roam.
Suddenly I'm in Paris
With the Eiffel tower shining bright.
And I'm standing on a terrace
In a gown as black as night.
Or now I'm traveling east to west
With a sword strapped to my side
Clothed in armor on a magic quest
To make a princess my bride.
And now I'm a desperate maiden
Wandering over the moor
With fears and hopes heavy-laden
To find the truth behind the lore.
And when it's time for dinner, well
I'll leave those worlds behind
But they stay with me - like a spell
Yes they're always in my mind.
And so perhaps, next day it rains
I'll find a book to lend
For after reading it, one thing remains:
To share it with a friend!
Are you doing any winter reading? This is the time of year I find time to read, since it can be so cold and unfriendly outside my door. Right now I am reading a book I got for Christmas: "I Will Repay" by Baroness Emmuska Orczy - a sequel to her famous "The Scarlet Pimpernel". I fell in love with this book last year and have since read it three times, so it's wonderful to move on now to the second book. What are you reading Friend? Please share below in the comments! I am always looking for a good book recommendation!
