Brilliant Mark! I love the imagery in the 3rd stanza of a man, frozen by ice, clutching the flowers ... dead most likely, but happy to know his Marie would have married him :-) x

Beautiful as ever Mark

M:)

Astounding as ever

okay, so I here I am singing, "Edelweiss"
I like this romantic poem. based on the 'sound of music' each verse building in imagery and intensity. I also like your use of the word "edelweiss" as a refrain - lovely and sweet.

Yes, I love this poem like everyone else seems to - it really is 'pure' poetry, whatever that is...

Take care, Mark

The first thing that popped into my mind when I read the title
was the movie Sound of Music...love that movie and this write has
all the warm and smiles of love. Liked how you mixed Edelweiss
with your feelings and providing a lovely scenery...nice work!
