Summary

The undefined website content features a winter-themed poetry series, inviting readers to explore the beauty of snow through a "poem a day" challenge by Dr. Gabriella Korosi, and includes a story by Joyce Nielsen about a winter's night, both published by Dancing Elephants Press.

Abstract

The website showcases the joy and wonder of winter as captured in poetry. It highlights the "poem a day" challenge undertaken by Dr. Gabriella Korosi for the year 2024, emphasizing how the habit of writing has transformed her thinking. A particular poem describes the magical experience of observing snowfall from a high bluff, likening the scene to being inside a life-size snow globe. Additionally, the site promotes another story by Joyce Nielsen titled "Dazzling Icicles Enhance a Frosty Winter’s Night," which responds to a poetry prompt about the feelings evoked by winter nights. Both pieces are part of the Dancing Elephants Press collection, with a link provided for readers interested in submitting their work to the press.

When the lightest of flakes sprinkle like salt over potato fries or fish food on a skin of water or glitter over glue I am lucky to live high on a bluff, where winds roil and boil day and night.

Flakes take flight past our windows in horizontal swirls and curls of wind. I laugh like a kid cheeks flushed in wonder, our house secure in its own snow globe.

Poem #34 in my “poem a day” challenge for 2024. Not all poems make it to Medium, but the writing habit changed my brain.
