Winter Silently Arrived

Tri-Con

Created by Connie Marcum Wong, consisting of at least 4 three-line stanzas. Each line has no set meter or syllable count. The last word in each stanza must rhyme with the following Stanza, and then you need to change your rhyming word again in the third stanza, and so on.      

Falling from cracks in the clouds snowflakes confetti the sky like down feathers tumbling down. Riding on a chilly breeze, twirling and swirling snowflakes begin carpeting the ground. Crowned the Queen of ice and snow, radiant in Her beauty Winter silently arrived. Burnt by Fall's flames of color lit within Autumn's pageant, not a single leaf survived. Winter winds soon freeze the air until it is cold enough that you can see your warm breath. Preferring to sculpt in white, Winter's sterile touch slows time and immortalizes death.

Your sparse lines of perfectly selected words and images, fitting the chosen form, combine in a striking way to reflect the cold clear beauty of winter. I like this poem a lot. Well written, Emile
