A Snowy Morning

Snowflakes adorn blurry morn, gently, gently trickling down 
As salted streets are turning brown across this weary town
While tilting trees blow wheeze of breeze in throe of snow
In aerial dance of wintry woe, as tips of twigs sun rays glow.

Driving slowly, traffic is moving, blinkers brightly turning on
As somber day, bearing yawn, is awakening bleak and drawn
When kids thrilled, frolic and build, a snowman on their lawn
Celebrating school closings on this messy, dampened dawn.

Peering scenes tinted gold, hushed romantic gazes behold
Fixating on meadows bold, where pristine paintings unfold
Delighting in the glowing blaze that brightens daze of malaise
Appealing to zeal of morning, blushing haze in emergent rays.

A deer ambles besides her fawn, exiting her quiet hideout
Curious to scout how leisurely strollers are sauntering about,
Ruminating sunshine while darkened clouds are phasing out
As bluing skies, sparkle eyes, illuminating zest of astral clout.

Beyond foothills, tall cliffs sigh, scintillating in sapphire sky
When far from here, climbing up high, cerulean motifs vie
As cobalt imprints horizons amplify, where birds merrily fly
Announcing to the receding storm: it’s time to say goodbye.

When daylight quivers on melting mound of thawing ground
Amidst whispers swirling around, muffled wind’s hissing sound;
Golden glints thrill, glistening hill, tinting the landscapes blue
Refracting puddles in ornate view of glinted beams’ opal hue.

Dear Vijay, as it turns out we are having our very first snow fall here, lol, and what a pretty sight it is. Your words are so well penned, it was a pleasure to read it. Symmetrically successful. Have a blessed day dear poet friend.

This is soo beautiful... Congratulations Vijay. I can never write anything even close to this. Tell me one thing, did this flow from within automatically or you had to sit long hours to do it? It's just amazing. Right choice for potd. Enjoy your honour friend

The scene described in this poem I see during winter season in my town, so the framework of the poem was easy to write. I am never happy with the first draft, so I read and edit for tone and flow. Sitting long hours never productive for me--I just edit with every new read. Much appreciate your kind thoughts, Rama. Many thanks for your visit and comments.
