Notes About The Poem

This picture is so amazing, I want to recreate it.

- Snow Blanket -

The sounds and the light
Ice crystals dance in the air
A gentle brush stroke
The first day of december
Come as we all remembered

Soft-falling snow...What a lovely way to start December, Anne-Lise!! Here in Malta we can only dream of snow; it never comes:( What we got on first December was a rare 5.2 earth tremor, scary, but no damage! Hugs // paul
