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. As a writing community we must protect and support each other in our endeavors. 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?
