Winter's White Duvet

                         Winter wears a gown of crystalline lace,
            woven from shards of frozen snow,
and wildlife shelters in place,
when winter winds start to blow.
                        She blankets the land in a white duvet,
as soon as the songbirds have flown away,
yet, some of the hardiest birds decide to stay.
      Snowflakes confetti the ground;
            silently falling without a sound;
                        fluttering and tumbling all around.
While white paints everything in white-face,
            for in Winter's presence, naught will grow.
      And kids sulk, stuck indoors to play,
            until Spring, when their spirits rebound.

Lovely, and this SOUNDS like snowflakes to me: " Snowflakes confetti the ground, silently falling without a sound; fluttering and tumbling all around." Until now, Emile, I had no idea they have a sound. But they do.
