Paratroopers stealthily slide unnoticed, chutes deployed, small blazes of white obscured by fog that lingers lazily, til their numbers cover the meadow… Faster, faster, not just content to cover, reinforcements filling in, words unspoken, synchronized with perfect precision, ever picking up tempo… Occupation utterly overwhelming, swamped defenses, raising a flag, surrender. Long, the arm of conquering winter, brings a lengthening shadow…

Perfect in form and unique as well as creative in application to winter's prompt. Snow storm compared to a military invasion. Definitely poetic and worthy of recognition. Thanks for sharing, Jeff.
