The Art of Snow

The Art of Snow I sit and gaze upon the wintry slope Inside my aged abode so drab and plain. Engulfed by white, the blizzard moves along To lather brilliant bright the creviced roads - A sparkling path to Heaven on display. Angelic statues once were naked trees, But now are blurred as in a Renoir style. A muted palette paints the lovely scene, Contrasted by the blue clouds up above. The snow maintains the beauty coating all, Into a wonderland of white and blue Until the cold departs and warmth returns. Snow - Poetry Contest November 16, 2015 Sponsored by Shadow Hamilton
