Snow White

A dreamy write, John. I once wrote a poem called no silent night but it wasn't anything near this good. Good night:)

That's pretty as a Christmas card. :) It's rather rhyme-y, but in a free-spirited kind of way. I'm not sure what other "type" of poem it could also be named...

Thanks! I really liked the way this came together. Tried to capture that "hush"-like feeling that settles over the land on a clear night following a snow fall.

This is beautiful, soft and serene. Like a sweet melody, a tender lullaby or a delicate dream. Your thoughts leave me floating on a "snow white" cloud. My heart is smiling. :) Hugs, Brandy
