This week Colleen ‘s #TankaTuesday challenge explores Ekphrastic poetry, inspired by the work of art. We have the freedom to write free verse but then write one syllabic poem too.
The Lady of the Snows
Each morning
when eastern rim glows pink,
the lady of snow spreads her mittened hands,
cedes her power and walks across the river, flowing leisurely.
She tarries just a second
to shake off the snowflakes from her attire,
to gather the beams of morning sun,
to savor the silence of winter morn,
to borrow beauty from mother nature.
Alone she walks with élan
across the bridge, beyond the era
Lilting with life.
Taciturn by nature,
with tranquil transition in her eyes,
she breathes a message of giving,
giving all that you gather.
