White Images of New Hampshire

I wanted to share the following poem entitled "White Images" that was published in the "2008 Poets' Guide to New Hampshire." 

White Images
By:  Amy Donnelly

The snow-covered peak of Mt. Washington
The foamy waves crashing against the rocks of Rye Beach

Snow-covered highways
Powdered sugar on fried dough
Empty ice cream cups at Golden Rod
White hair on an Annalee Doll
Popcorn at the Deerifield Fair

The Inn at Mills Falls
Ice Skating at Dorrs Pond
A warm cup of white hot-chocolate
A snow angel

White, a relaxing afternoon
Church on Easter Sunday
A seagull at Hampton Beach
Skiing at Cannon Mountain, Waterville Valley, or Gunstock

White, a long walk home on a blistering winter’s day
To a warm house
Where I sit in the company of family
With a white knitted throw
And new white socks
White headlights sweep the street
And I slowly fall sleep.
