[Quite honestly, I have no idea when I wrote this poem, but it was probably in the early 1960s. It was included in my first poetry chapbook, "The Lady in the Pink Hat," Candor Press, 1969. It is the last poem from this chapbook that I am sharing here at Poetry Soup. I hope readers have enjoyed some of the poems written during my student days.]
Snow lies fleecy on the plain
Blotting out the winding lane
On the hillside snow has spread
The blanket for earth's cozy bed
Frosts the towering stately pines
Rests in graceful curving lines
Tucks away the sleeping flowers
In precious, whitened icy towers
Peaceful quiet pervades the air
Leaving only whispers where
Once were scuffling costumed leaves
Chattering breezes through the trees
In the valley all is white
By the snow that fell last night
Silent, silent is the glow
Of freshly-fallen lacy snow.
