The wailing shrieks of a banshee warns of death hidden amidst the chaos created by a blizzard. And skeleton trees rattle bare bones as Winter's wrath shakes and pounds them with fists of snow. Blue skies are obscured in a flurry of confetti, white on white. And temperatures drop as a ravenous wind gnashes its teeth; snarling like a rabid dog, nipping and biting at any exposed skin.

"And skeleton trees/ rattle bare bones,/ as Winter's wrath/ shakes and pounds them/ with fists of snow." Striking imagery ! Beautiful poem. Best for a win. Wish you a Happy New Year, dear poet friend Emile.
