not quite White Christmas, but that'll do. 'tis the next best thing! celestial confetti comes tumbling down at noon time generously, incessantly; palpable excitement hangs like hope in the firmament one of several children at play extracts her tongue waiting; some did land... and she squeals with joy! ah, ivory flakes... down they come; tiny alabaster feathers fluttering d o w n like maple leaves in Autumn; darting diagonally, hullahooping in the December wind.

Dear EI, i really love the winter ishness in your poem and how descriptive and uplifting your word weaving here is! Especially loved the lines “celestial confetti comes tumbling down at noon time generously, incessantly;” so beautiful and magical and the way youv used colors and given a touch of joy to your poem is what makes this a soul warming take! Congratulations on your win. Thank you for supporting my contest! This is a fave for me
