SNOW Slowly it crept across the peak Numbing the core of life’s lament Obscuring what had been before White shroud upon dreams firmament. 10/23/2015 submitted to- WIND SNOW OR RAIN ACROSTRAIN – Poetry contest sponsor – Jan Allison

Thanks Neva, I wrote this one after reading a PS blog that challenged the readers to write without using all the old, worn, cliche, references.

Very well expressed, John. Snow does all those things. I miss it, but only the first fall.
