The excerpts, short stories or poems I will be publishing on my blog this year are a collection of writing exercises, National Novel Writing Month and WIP novels and prompt responses. I would be happy for you to share any of your snippets with me too. Please abide by the copyright on my written work and those of my contributors.

My first poem is apt for the time of year – Winter.

Creator of Winter

Her cloak glistens and sparkles in the moonlight

Intricately made from icicles and snowflakes.

Gliding across the sky, flakes fall behind her

They increase as they tumble

Blown hither and thither by the breeze

Coating branches, grass and houses alike

With a thin white gauze

That builds layer upon layer

She is cold to the touch

But not cold of heart

Spreading a glistening white cloth

For all to play in and enjoy

Her eyes are the purest clearest blue

With skin as pale as the snow she creates

She is a glimpse in your eye

A sparkle in the twilight

Do you have a winter themed story or poem to share?
