The Whole Sky Was White

The whole sky was white
No blueness  was shown
There was no sunshine
A chill in the air
It was very cold

Then the snowflakes fell
Lightly coating the ground
Only to repeat
Coating the ground white

mother nature tease
She can not decide 
Whether it is spring
for thew month of March
Or is it winter

This is such a lovely poem to read dear Darlene. Love the imagery as the snow fell and you can sense the coldness. You have painted the scene well as everything turns to the freshness and purity of snow. Love the last stanza with the tease of Mother Nature and the uncertainty of which season it is and should be. Really enjoyed reading it. Blessings to you x

The weather is changing a lot here. Many gray days. Some mild sunny ones. Then we had a foot of heavy snow recently. Lately, some rain. I can relate to your poem Darlene. Good one :)
