Snow

Snow

Snow sparkles and glistens,
Such stunning imagery
Shines like crystals on trees.
Snowflakes entertain us
Simply flying with breeze.
Susurrus sounds sing out
Supreme within, without.

Joe Dimino Date: 1/18/2022 8:44:00 PM Interesting form -- very visual! I still love snow, but at my age, there has to be a big window between me and it, and a tall bourbon. Very well said, Connie.

My fingers freeze even with fur lined leather gloves and I look like Rudolf after being in the cold only a few minutes. Thank you Joe. You should try one of these. They are a bit of a challenge because of the brevity and syllable count. Blessings xxoo

Mystic Rose Rose Date: 1/17/2022 6:16:00 PM You make the snow sound like a heaven's gift, and sometimes it is when we don't have to shovel it, nicely penned, creatively shared, gl with the contest dear friend :) Login to Reply Connie Marcum Wong Date: 1/17/2022 7:40:00 PM In my eyes snow is heaven’s gift because when it melts it gives us pure water to drink coming down from the mountains. I know it is no fun to be out in the cold shoveling snow while are trying to escape being snowbound when there is a fierce snowstorm. Still the beauty of the season enchants. Thank you for your lovely comment Vie. Blessings xxoo

Vijay Pandit Date: 1/17/2022 5:49:00 PM Superbly done in this hard to execute form, Connie. Snow sparkles through your exquisite imagery my friend. Login to Reply Connie Marcum Wong Date: 1/17/2022 7:34:00 PM Thank you Vijay. This form is challenging not only because of the brevity but because each line needs to begin with the same letter in in this have case six syllables. I look forward to reading other entries.
