One Single Impression - Twilight

Twilight

'Tween day and night
Winter seems to fade
Into pockets of shadows
Lingering in the present
Iluminating remnants of day
Gradually opening to night
Hovering in the darkness
To awaken for one more day

I have tried an acrostic poetry form with one of my favorite photos. I like winter and about now we are done with it, but is it done with us?

I enjoyed this!

I would love a good snow that would let us have one last play outside.

Lovely Tammy. Winter does seem to fade into pockets... but not yet.

this time of year I'm always torn between wanting a fresh dusting to make the dirty snow look better, and just getting on to spring. Enjoyed your acrostic, and the laden trees!

Phew, it's just that special time of day, that I for one so often miss - it's light and then it's dark before you know it.

I think you got this just right!

This week was dancing shadows....I am trying to focus on it but with so many trying events here with friends , health and the love we have it is so difficult.
I love you Tammy.

Hi Tammy, I like your acrostic. I quit trying these until I have more time. "Hovering in the darkness" after the twilight, I can just feel the chill coming on. So good! I like your picture too. I would like to be right there for a half hour.
..
BTW, I think spring is here in Texas. Our grass has started greening and it is in the 70's this week.

Tammy this is just a lovely poem. I love the falling snow in your beautiful picture. At first I thought they were shooting stars. Well done my friend.

Hope you are well. I have been in hospital more than out but at least I am writing again.

love,Melanie-bd
