In falling snows, I find no woes except the tingling in my toes. Winter winds create a chill leaving frost upon the hill. Barren are the limbs of trees, after the season's first freeze. In falling snows, I find no woes except the tingling in my toes. For Mark Toney's Flash Poetry Challenge

Thank you for supporting my Flash Poetry Challenge, Lin. Your poem was randomly chosen to feature in my 'Results' blog, which is now up and running.

Thank you for your thoughts, Michael. Snow is beautiful but there is a limit to that beauty before it becomes dangerous. I still miss the first snow of winter when I lived in Colorado, but I gladly give it up for moderate temperatures in New Orleans.
