A Blanket Of Snow

Winter arrives on a cold, blustery breeze, sashaying forth; on a carpet of white. And donning a crystalline gown, She freezes all; with a frosty breath that transforms Autumn's tattered dress, into a shroud of crumpled colors. The Queen of icicles and mistress of the North, She rules with a frigid heart. And as flurries of snowflakes confetti the wind, She weaves them into an icy white duvet. Though a sterile maiden, with ice in Her veins, children, skaters, and skiers still love Winter. Winter is not as nurturing as Spring, and yet, where Nature's hibernating animals sleep: She tucks them in with a blanket of snow.

Emile, congratulations on your win. Even through the cold seemingly lifeless season of winter, you highlight a tender side of winter "she tucks them in with a blanket of snow." Wonderful last line. Warm blessings to you my friend. Spring is just on the horizon!
