Smells, Sights, Sounds On Winter Days
There are many.
The fresh clean scent of snow is in the air.
Sunlight reflects on it causing a glare.
Many icicles on rooftops are found.
Our winter boots crunch on the frozen ground.
There's a slight ozone smell before it snows.
We can hear the wind howling when it blows.
The frost covers the branches which are bare.
We hear the kids laugh, make snowmen with care.
We think the snow smells crisp, earthy, and sweet.
Sounds of kids playing in snow is a treat.
Many snowflakes drift from skies which are gray.
The trees creak in the wind during the day.

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.

Many snowflakes drift from the sky which are grey. Nicely Done!!
This poem beautifully captures the sensory experience of winter, blending vivid imagery of sights, smells, and sounds. The playful details, like the crunch of boots on snow and the laughter of children, create a nostalgic and heartwarming scene. It really brings the cold, crisp atmosphere of winter to life!
Beautiful poem! ✨
