silvered dew sparkles
embellishing the expanse
an argent gliding
of luminous corundums
dazzle in nature’s mural
bejewelled, sequined
icicles fluoresce chasteness,
a Puffin breaks ice
as the fragrance of Snowdrops
envelopes silken snowflakes

Hey, did it come from a snowflake*, because it’s exquisitely penned?

Losing is also another form of winning Jorg. They come back stronger. You shouldn’t take it to heart.

You are right Yasmin. Football is the one thing that can make or ruin a day. A stupid thing that I allow it to be that way when with everything else in life I’m just me.

I begin to see that what I began to ask myself: “can Yasmin shoehorn so deftly, softly and with no possibility of blister yet one more image, one more frozen motion into five simple lines done twice,?” better possibly had I asked of my self still swirling in your words, why are you still seated and not bifurcatedly rolling on the floor – and the ceiling – in marvel and joy? I am so glad I stopped to watch your puffin! My ears hurt – not just my cheeks from the gifted grin you give.
