Phyllis Babcock Poet Free verse

Sea of White

The northern breeze blew softly
 Ground drifts crossed the snowy ground
Snowflakes tossed and tumbled 
The wind abated, leaving only stillness, in the air
The sun was shining, creating a bright white glaze
A sea of white along with shifting snow dunes
Appeared on the horizon and beyond
The stark white had no contrast 
to the surrounding landscape
Devoid of color, the sky loomed
looking like it was bleached
The mist rolled in creating a sea of white.

Carolyn Devonshire January 8, 2011 at 8:59 AM You have just saved me the cost of airfare to see a winter wonderland, Phyllis. When the landscape meets a sky of white clouds, it does resemble a sea of white. Beautiful descriptions! Love, Carolyn
