Winter Wonder: Final day!

Today is the start of the new lunar month, the beginning of the Chinese Year (the year of the Horse and the element of Wood) and of course as we move into the weekend we approach Imbolc. Imbolc celebrates the first stirrings of spring, and the desire to sweep the winter away, so with those thoughts in mind I am drawing my Winter Wonder series to a cheerful close, with some beautiful pictures and a lovely poem by Laura Perry, author of Ariadne’s Web.

Thanks to every one who has submitted work for this series, it’s been amazing to see the range of styles and the different ways that winter inspires us. I will choose a winner over the weekend and announce it next week. Good luck, and have a wonderful Imbolc, new year, spring festival or just have a cracking weekend!

Winter

Slow silver

She drifts in dreamland

Asleep she waits

Frozen fire

He sleeps not

His fire burns

In his reign
