I like these. Those that live where it is so cold must see some beautiful sights but also must be challenged to make it through the long cold winter. Sara

Very picturesque of the cold bleakness of winter, and I also like the thread of hope on your last line ~

Hi, Michelle! We had a major frost the morning I wrote this and I even had to order a quilted coat :-). Complimented by your words of comment. I try to see the end-good in everything…that helps survival. Take care!

Hello Sally Eslinger, Snow flurries here but I think it is just snowing now. the ground is getting covered the snowflakes. Your poem is beautifully done. Hugs.

Thank you for your commenting. I missed some days on PS, sorry for late reply. I am touched by how poets love snow—it has a array of characteristics over the cold. Stay warm and inspired! sally
