A Winter Treasure

beneath skies of topaz flawless infinite in depth and clarity the clouds had fallen... a soft white cushion just for us laughing we lay back and made snow angels together

Sharon, Thank you for sending positive thoughts to John Loving. The sadness he is feeling must be overwhelming now. He wanted his relationship with April to grow and lead to a future together. Love, Carolyn

This is just wonderful, Sharon!! I bet it will do well. Yeah, some of my line breaks are silly in that poem. I invented that 7/5 trochee form, and so to be consistent and model it as 7 syllables followed by five syllable lines, I have to break it at odd places sometimes. haha. Luv, Andrea

This write has put me in the mood for snow; however, we rarely get any substantial amount here. I enjoyed the write, good luck in the contest. Caryl
