winter daydream time glass challenge 14 ‘winter’

winter daydream               time glass challenge 14 ‘winter’

icicles melting

hanging at the window there,

sparkling magic

just waiting for magicians

or other magical folk

to pick the right wand

of crystal to cast a spell

on the winters’ day

growing longer; refreezing

as the sun reaches apex

winter birds gather

at the feeder - bundled fae

skate on frozen ponds

then he comes in keen disguise

mystic stag looking so pleased

as the ice cracks and

wind blows a large icicle

safely to his feet

I see him transform, pointing

his wand “blink”; he vanishes

Note: 

At one point I had twelve verses... But I was able to trim it down ;)

When all is quiet and nothing moves with snow covering the ground -

it can be winter wonderland of magic...

This week I love to challenge you all a bit more to write a short chained poem with a maximum of eight stanza following the classical rules (5-7-5; 7-7; 5-7-5; 7-7; 5-7-5; 7-7; 5-7-5; 7-7) and your last stanza (classically called "ageku") has to close the chain by associating on the first stanza. Of course you don't need to use the classical syllables count, but that's up to you.

So you have to write a chained poem (Renga) of maximum eight (8) stanza inspired on the image and the prompt WINTER WONDERLAND within 24 hours.
