First Snow

Soft and white the landscape, Spreading farther than I can see, Skipping over rolling hills, Turning around every tree. Its blanket has no edges, It folds and drapes through town, Resting on every newel post, In a perfect little mound. The sun comes out From behind a cloudy veil of gray, A picture perfect moment, To start this winter's day. For: Weather Poetry Contest Sponsor: Angela Tune

Hi Vie, I do not like the cold but I love the kaleidoscopic landscape that inspires me. Living in a home surrounded by nature and lots of windows I can stay warm, and enjoy all that the winter brings to me. Thanks for stopping by:) Paulette
