Vienna in Winter


It looked
as if all the Universe
was caught in winter's
icy grip

Gelid winter sky
in my neighbour's frozen pond

  1. Well I still can't figure out what a 'gelid winter sky' is...
    Gelatinized?
    I'm out in the cold...

  4. Paris Breakfasts,
    you made me run to look up thesaurus.com, afraid that my Italian had somehow played a trick with my language memory (I have lately caught myself doing just that, searching for English vocabulary and coming up with anything but):

    Main Entry: gelid
    Part of Speech: noun
    Definition: freezing
    Synonyms: chilly, cold, frozen, iced, icy
    Main Entry: arctic
    Part of Speech: adjective

    Still, I could be wrong, and the sky was only blassblau? ;-)

    Vicki Lane,
    otherworldly, indeed, all of a sudden the whole of the universe in a little goldfish pond! ;-)
