Winter Suddenly Arrived

Tumbling from sullied grey clouds snowflakes confetti the air like down feathers, swirling down. Riding on a chilly breeze trillions of intricate flakes begin to carpet the ground. For crowned Queen of ice and snow in her alabaster gown, Winter suddenly arrived. Consumed by flames of scarlet fueled by Jack Frost's first touch, not a single leaf survived. Winter temperatures drop, until it is cold enough for you to see your own breath. And with a heart cold as ice, Winter entombs fallen leaves, while camouflaging their 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
