Snow Poetry by Gillian Clarke The dreamed Christmas, flakes shaken out of silences so far and starry we can’t sleep for listening for papery rustles out there in the night and wake to find our ceiling glimmering, the day a psaltery of light. So we’re out over the snow fields before it’s all seen off with a salt-lick of Atlantic air, then home at dusk, snow-blind from following chains of fox and crow and hare, to a fire, a roasting bird, a ringing phone, and voices wondering where we are. A day foretold by images of glassy pond, peasant and snowy roof over the holy child iconed in gold. Or women shawled against the goosedown air pleading with soldiers at a shifting frontier in the snows of television, while in the secret dark a fresh snow falls filling our tracks with stars. 4/9 #fairytaletuesday #fairytale #fairytaleflash #poems #poem #poetic #poet #poetry #poems #poetryofinstagram #classicpoetry #winterseason #winter #wintersolstice #winterpoetry #fairytalepoetry #Spiritique #mindfulness #Spiritual #Spirituality #mystical #mystique #mystic #mysticisim #renaissance #renaissanceart #folk #folklore #folkspirits #folkmystic #fantasy https://www.instagram.com/p/CmYe6HMyO7S/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@acourtoftears tagged me to do this, which I was delighted to see. Guys, give Megan a follow. Her blog is all around beautiful—awesome icon, starry header, covetable url, and pleasing theme.
**edit: I just realized that @catastrophicallyinlovewithbooks and @court-of-wildfire tagged me to do this too! I’m sorry I didn’t see that!!
Okay, I have LOTS of these things to catch up on, so bear with me as I fuck up tradition. For this tag, I’ll give a shout-out to my most active followers this last MONTH HOLY SHIT that’s a long time. You guys are hard core and I love every one of you. Feel free to play along (please do, I anxiously await your responses), but, by all means, ENJOY THIS SHOUTOUT (also follow each other and what not). @illyriandream @queen-reece @a-court-of-exy @lyssagrace . You guys are so faithful and supportive. As always, I appreciate and thank and love you.
These blogs are all very prevalent in this tradition though it’s not like that is a bad thing.
Followers, send me some asks of new traditions you’d like to see, or get more active to be tagged!
A - Age: 21
B - Birthplace: USA
C - Current time: 15:20/3:20p
D - Drink you last had: Orange Gatorade—though not entirely healthy, super delicious
E - Easiest person to talk to: myself probably, though my family says I should stop doing that in public… kidding, probably my mom. She’s very supportive.
F - Favourite song: Horse to Water by Tall Heights—always
G - Grossest memory: This happened quite recently…
A little background info for you guys. My day job is managing retail, and occasionally, we have to “reset” departments—take everything off the shelves, clean, organize, replace price stickers, etc. WELL, around Christmas, toys got reset, because Christmas toys and all that. Some child that day must have had a particularly nasty nose because THEY RUBBED THEIR SNOT ON ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. I almost vomited. The department was only salvaged after I acquired a mop bucket, mask, gloves, and the strongest cleaner available to us (used for biohazards, like blood). I don’t care if disease can survive in snot or not; I was not letting that shit touch even the air I breathed.
H - Horror Yes or NO: No. I am a giant baby.
I - In love?: with myself, yes.
J - Jealous of people?: In the sense that I dislike people that have something I want? No. I do find myself coveting things, though.
K - Killed someone: Do OCs count? If so, yes, many, sometimes mass murders.
L - Love at first sight or should I walk past again: Yes, but by all means, walk by again. 😏😏😉

V – Vacation: Yes, please.
I went to Guadeloupe over Christmas.

Z - Zodiac sign: Scorpio
