The Rings of Nature

By Corinne Cygan-Goigoux

Embark on a poetic journey through nature's rhythms in The Rings of Nature. This poetry collection dives into the cyclical patterns of day and night, seasons, and the physical rings within them, while weaving verses on cats, mountains, stars, and the sun's cycles and resurrection.
 

In the second section, "Voyage to the Antarctic Peninsula," experience a travelogue poem chronicling the author's sea voyage to Antarctica, and delve into the author's dream-inspired verses.
 

The final section unveils a tapestry of creativity, exploring artists and their crafts worldwide. From an enigmatic teacup's tale in a Colorado antique shop to the intricate weaving of a sari in Varanasi, India, discover the beauty of artisanal expression through evocative poetry.

The Rings of Nature

Decorative element on section pages.

The Rings of Nature

It has fallen from the sky,

the snow that giggles beneath shoes.

In winter nights,

hoarfrost blooms⁠—

meadows on every branch.

When the sun rises,

the frost, winking, wilts.

Pale, frail snowflakes

shroud the ground.

When the next snow comes,

footprints as if they never were.

Soon another someone,

soon another snow,

footprints as if they never were.

At night,

the cozy blackness wraps around me.

Flowers y—a—w—n⁠—

the world is awakening, Spring.

Pond ripples break

the sun

into stars.

The sky is raining birds.
