Starlight pierces ebony above sculpted shades of white. And moonbeams soften the scene, gilding night with golden light. Donning a crystalline dress, Nature's a picture of grace. And draped in feathery down, stands frozen in time and place. Billions of snowflakes gather on bare branches, where they freeze. And subtle features get carved by the breath of a sharp breeze. Breezes doesn't blow strong enough to dislodge the sticky snow. And the laden branches bend, bowing impossibly low. Cold cast its enchanting spell in the throes of arctic chill. And silence imbues magic with Winter's artistic skill. (Quatrain) 1/17/2015

Lovely personification here. It brings such life to this chilly wintry scene; which I believe is hard to do as a subject. Going to faves.
