Original DDE™ surrealistic art: “Midnight Visitor” by: rob kistner © 12/11/23
M idnight
in our moonlit forest
snowfall shimmers
deep and still
through the boughs
of old growth
like dances of star clusters
it blankets
our mountain
in white
pure as love
this night
falls quiet and crisp
great white owl
echoes hope
through frosted cedars

Lovely alliteration in ‘midnight in our moonlit forest’, Rob, made me go ‘mmm’, and the image of snowfall shimmering through boughs ‘like dances of star clusters’ is stunning.

It is so beautiful, but it always seems also so cold to go there, the great white owl is something I have never ever seen.
Thank you John great white, owls, also known as snowy, owls, or snow owls are considered very good luck if you encounter one, so maybe you should check it out ha ha ha… 🙂

What a beautiful scene you paint with your words! Although in reality I hate the cold, you make snow sound very attractive
Thank you Rosemary I appreciate it. I love snow as a romantic and adventurous concept, but like you, I prefer to write and think about snow, then to trudge through it… 🙂
Such enchanting imagery!
Thank you Rommy… 🙂
