Winter

Whiteness falling whirling white
in the crisp hushed winter's bite.
Nipping flakes light the dark night
that gathers on window pane.
Evening's moon begin to wane,
relaxing by candlelight.

You gave due thought to this acrostic, Eve, enhanced by lovely imagery, alliteration, rhyme and 7syllable lines. Regards // paul

I am starting to celebrate a very different change of season, but you do give a warm, romantic feel to the depths of winter. I'm almost jealous.
