Best Whiteout Poems

(A double Triolet)

A darkened sky portends the snow’s advance
as forest roof displays its bitten edge
and angel wings begin their winter dance.
A darkened sky portends the snow’s advance
as hidden lake supports her tender sedge
and wraps her banks in mud to form a ledge.

God whispers to the angels,
who open their aprons toward earth.
A thick curtain of flakes

pierced by stark sentinels whose branches 
stand solid against its breath.

Shivers thump open blood
Repelling lethargy
Adrenaline's fright thud
Warns death stalls next to me
As my feet slide like mud
Skies push with gravity

In your storm I read codes
Difficult to ignore
Confetti...
