Like a blanket woven of fluffy white fleece, The snow lay thickly on the ground. Angels had taken a huge fluffy cloud from the sky, And blew it down to cover all around. The frost in the air made a shivery haze. No utterance of warmth could be found. Winters wonder glistened everywhere, And the cold winds made a chilling sound. Snow fell in sheets as white as bright light. Not a place for man nor beast most profound. Nothing but bitter cold ice, sleet and snow. Now Winter’s Magic. Colorful Crocus peeping through an icy mound.

Hello my lovely! This is an absolute delight to read. I love the imagery here. I have recently read quite a few wintry poems and so far, I haven’t come across any references to clouds and snow, ‘ Angels had taken a huge fluffy cloud from the sky and blew it down to cover all around’’. Love this. It’s so unique and fresh ( like the snow!) I also particularly love the last line - the vivid colour that the crocus displays through an icy mound. Perfect is picture too.

Thank you Tanya, its a novelty writing about winter in the middle of our Summer. It sounds strange but it really had a cooling effect as I wrote. Glad you liked it, I will enjoy cooling down as I read the other entries. Cheers.
