Study In White

Acrid smoke in the scientist’s bell jar
Blankets of chenille-covered snow
Crystalline carbon diamond star
Drips forming stalactites grow
Effervescent waterfalls’ dreams
Frothy-topped cappuccinos 
Gelid surfaces of lakes and streams
Halos of angels in holy repose 
Icebergs splitting from their source 
Jasmine-covered pergolas in Spring
Knuckles clenched in fear or remorse
Love’s purest form sobering
Mandala patterns on frosted window
Newly-born flamboyant flamingos
Opalescent lustre of pearls on show
Pineapple-licious snow cones 
Quills of the porcupines’ defense
Ringlets of great-grandparents’ hair 
Steamy hot springs vapor intense
Trailing wisps of London fog air 
Undulating winter foothill maze
Veils of fine tatted lace purity 
Wieliczka Salt Mine passageways
Xilinous spider webs artistry
Yahrzeit candle flame in memoriam
Zephyrus ballooning sails on a whim

Thank you Victor. :) This is my first one. The hardest part for me was the rhyming on this one. Linda
