Outside, the air has grown inordinately chill. As the winds fatten into swirling, sweeping gales, Snow forms into heaps, structured like mounds and hill. Silent and solitary lie the inert sleeping vales. Winter days are growing brief and icy cold. Mountain peaks glisten in granulated powdery frost. Trees devoid of leaves look so fatigued and old. The lustrous sheen of the sun is thoroughly lost Snow lies all around like glistening folds of silk Snowflakes spin and dance in bedimmed light The earth looks like an upturned barrel of milk Winter paints the land in colors of gleaming white _________________________ ~Placed First~ Brian's Contest- You Decide Jan.14.2023 ~Placed First~ 12 Lines of Rhyme- Winter Nature Themed Poetry Contest Sponsor- Tania Kitchin

Ahh!! The snow is beautiful but dangerous and limiting in movement at times. Reads like a good contender for the contest to me. Way to go. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara

The only touch I’ve had this year was the day I left Minneapolis- a snow storm that sent the kids home from school. It was beautiful. …and literally 2 snowflakes on my car window then nada. So I embrace “ Snowflakes spin and dance in bedimmed light…”

Your poem is dazzling Valsa, bringing me back to memories of a world painted white, and the snow still falling in great big flakes. Stay warm sweet friend, with a nice cup of rose petal tea, and a cozy blanket to snuggle you softly as you pen your beautiful poems <3
