In Shimmering White

The mountain wears a white lace shawl,

    Winter has dressed her in shimmering white.

Above our heads, she stands so tall,

    Beautifully displayed in morning light.

Warming our hearts, this most picturesque sight.

If you were situated just a little south, I would say you were describing Mt. Rainier. This is a very descriptive quintain.

What a pretty little quintain. Was this just practice for you with the form? I can't recognize it in a contest. I enjoyed this one, Francine and thanks again for the win in your contest. I read all of them. wonderful contest!
