Unusually luxuriant in its blessings

given words:
snow cabin ice

With folding of hands together
More in acts of prayers shown
A coolness to a given cheer
Free yet perplexed being alone

Warmth in the cabin sweltering
Despite thick snowfall outdoors
Unusually luxuriant in its blessings
Ice on the road none that bothers

Such an undertone augurs well
Watered down a little in earnest
Within the few days would be swell
Sustenance to a White Christmas

  1. Because I have the sense of humor of a hormonal teenage boy, I can't stop grinning at the last line of the first stanza.

  2. Definitely a favorite way to keep warm in the winter

  3. Really like the image. Some sense of conflict, yet a warm and peaceful undertone here. As a self-proclaimed hermit, I rather like the idea of being alone in a snow-encased log cabin.

  4. I got a sense: with each stanza, one further step back. Well done.

  5. To be inside all warm and the outside blustery - bliss
