Clouds suspended in light blue sky
Tinged pink by the lowering sun
Creates a beautiful backdrop
For silhouetted limbs and trunks
A pantomime frozen in time
Winter viewed from my back windows
When mute twilight drains the color
From the darkening twilight sky.
Then cold moonlight distinguishes
With black shadows draping over
Strange objects cowering under
Winter’s frigid snowy mantle.

You paint a beautiful picture with words. Lovely Perdita! Merry Christmas to you and yours!!
Well written, my friend. Your poem “Becoming Night in Winter” captures the serene yet haunting transition from day to night during winter, portraying the beauty and stillness of the season. It reflects on the interplay between light and shadow, color and monochrome, and evokes feelings of tranquility mixed with an underlying sense of cold isolation.
A beautiful image of that cold season where life is frozen and time stops. Well done Happy holidays
