Blue Shadows On White Snow

He was tired of pneumonia, wanted to get out there and play in the snow. In an hour his pals would be trudging up the sledding hill with their sleds. He had been sick too many days; he was tired of Jell-o, and his mother's voice being too empathetic, and apologetic. He played with the frost on the window. Wondering if anyone would notice if he slipped outside? It would not take him long to get to the top of the hill. Unfortunately, the snow was virginal. If Mom saw the tracks from their house, he would be in big trouble. He noticed for the first time that the tree shadows in the snow were blue. Fascinated, he pushed his nose next to the window, reveling in the icy cold feel of it. frosted window pane blue tree shadows on white snow my nose is ice cold

Wow! "Blue Tree Shadows on White Snow" would be a splendid title for a novel, don't you think? I enjoyed your exceptionally well-written piece very much, Caren.

A child not wanting to be ill, but playing out in the cold snow. Tree shadows blue on the snow, reflected in a child's sadness. Emotions found beneath the surface. Interesting and well written, Caren.

It is so sad to be inside looking out, never living your life.

Caren, Very melodic and hypnotic write. The cold can bite in winter's shadowy secret places. -Richard
