Winter Magic

W hen snow has fallen I n quiet drifts during the N ight and I know T he moment I awaken. E erie silence greets me. R everant pause for reflection. M aking my way outside. A nxious to be the first footfall. G lorious crunching beneath my feet. I deflower the virgin snow. C hildlike in my adult delight.

Can you imagine us having a snowball fight Connie?? I can. Maybe a little harder for you in Hawaii.

An excellent acrostic which flows gently and smoothly, Jean. I love the early morning serenity and reflection, and the ending is delightful. Regards // paul

There would not be too much snow in Africa I guess. The expression "A snowball's chance in hell" comes to mind.

This was wonderful and beautifully written. I remember these mornings and how exciting it was to be the first to step out into the snow.
