Miss January Ice Queen

She is Miss January Ice queen
Taking away all of the green
As temperatures drop at thirteen
She is beautiful but I want spring
When the flowers bloom and birds sing
With the warm sunshine in full swing

Her icy heart sparks with a glow
And her beauty does very much show
In these cold temperatures way below
She is beautiful but I want spring
When the flowers bloom and birds sing
With warm sunshine in full swing

Winter is beautiful but so cold
And cold weather gets very old
I'm ready for warmth to unfold
She is beautiful but I want spring
When the flowers bloom and birds sing
With warm sunshine in full swing

Gourgeous write, Michelle!

Very beautiful, Lori!

Winter's Walk

A Queen in all the Winter snow

Moves gracefully goes with the flow

Her Owl is present this she knows

Each day she takes a little walk

He flutters by she hears his squawk

She wonders what next he will stalk

She's outside now to clear her head

Now knowing she's nothing to dread

Companion for a walk instead

Each day she takes a little walk

He flutters by she hears his squawk

She wonders what next he will stalk

No longer does she feel enmeshed

Her walk has left her so refreshed

Her thoughts and actions have now meshed

Each day she takes a little walk

He flutters by she hears his squawk

She wonders what next he will stalk

I'm enjoying this form... very nice!

Very beautiful, Rebel!

A lovely tribute to a wonderful poet!

Thank you for the inspiring form to try out, Lori. I had fun with this!
