The Frost of Mint
Frosted Verse Challenge Entry
In the birth of winter’s finely dusted chill
Sumptuous, swirling steam fills the frosty air
Tickling the nose as it rises and tantalizes,
An aromatic elixir of ice and heat well-paired,
Marrying the mind’s reflection and repose
Whilst you sip, with nary a worry or a care.
❄️
Finding promises of pleasure for body and soul
Richly embodied in depths of minty tea’s delight
Ripples ‘cross tastebuds, igniting full senses
In a taste of landscapes painted pearly white.
Outside children, skates, and sleighs rise to frolic
Amidst armed soldiers of valiant snowball fights.
❄️
Laughter drifts over iced ponds to whisper
Echoing a thrill of wintry frosted delight
While from the hearth, the red blaze warms
Against explosion of the Arctic's creeping might,
The bold taste of mint lingers on lips and teases
Like fire enraptured within winter's icy plight.
