Ivory flakes this morn fill the skies; feathery snow puffs pass by my eyes, dense as can be, like a pillow fight fostered by angels filling day's light. Something is wrong with what I now see; sun rays are bright- the sky, dark clouds-free. Flurries grow dense to cover the ground sparkling the landscape here all around. Angels are smiling this winter day; temp below thirties- but still, they play making snowfalls in a sunny clime- filling my morn with scenes so sublime!

Dear sandra , this is so elegantly woven and flows like snowflakes, falling and dancing! In such a magical manner! I love how you used the pillow fight light which is so very unique and artistic! Your way with word and how youv painted imagery is so very vivid and seamless! Love the GIF youv used here too giving a wintry ambience to your poem! Congratulations on your win! Thank you for supporting my contest

Sandra, so beautiful this is, as a poet pal said, snowflakes are angels kisses. Love how you suggest angels get to play in the snow on a winter’s day… Beryl
