Different Textures of White

Cold, hard,white, wet ice cubes clink into a glass 'pon a summer day Then they pop and snap when touched by warm tea made Large white raindrops splatter falling from white cotton fluffy clouds Their sound brings hope that cooling of the summer air will abound The white water rushes through the yard cascading over every rock and twig onward to the creek to dance on its way to the sea Over those small white rapids created by those damp dark rocks just a small gurgling sound of white just for me Forward dancing across those river rocks bouncing, swishing onward to the sea Those white raindrops now whitecap in small waves with a tiny rhythm along the beach White water necessary for life delivers different sounds to mine ears The silence of all nature as white snow begins to fall Just a crisp sound of ice crystals as they touch tree limbs, the brown earth and each other A crisp, cold, steady sound of white snow as each flake lands White, white, bright white all of nature surrounds Sponsor: Monterey Sirak Contest: The Sound Of Color Written: December 03, 2013

Amazing images and sound! We got snow and ice last week and I have been listening to all the white sounds. I love the way you started with a definitive concrete image of ice cubes in a glass and from there flowed seamlessly into the soothing white sounds of nature from rain to snow. Congrats and thank you for entering.

I can hear the different shades of whites flow through your poem. The line layout had me swaying back and forth to the water theme too.
