snow
crystal
sparkling stars,
natures warming
shimmering blanket,
incubates new
life waiting
to be
born

Glittery crystalized diamond snowflakes now lie delicately on top of each other
Forming a giant fluffy blue tinged white snow blanket that connects our houses
Sled mountain is awesomely beautiful in pure white, with not a single track.
I awoke this morning to discover this beautiful winter scene,
maybe the prettiest ever
What to do first? School has been cancelled, so working is out of the picture.
I take another look out the window and run for my paints, and a fresh canvas.
There may never be another day this beautiful in my lifetime.
My husband smiles.
Painting heh?
I have not painted a picture for almost six months because I did not have this.
shining snow blanket
amid crystalline embrace –
squirrel seeks nuts
The sounds and the light
Ice crystals dance in the air
A gentle brush stroke
The first day of december
Come as we all remembered

I look out my window
and what do I see?
A blanket of snow
where fields used to be.
This blanket of white
that covers the ground
and glistens at night
is not made of down.
Flakes of snow fall down
from the winter clouds
to form this velvet gown
that lies upon the ground.
You can’t snuggle in it
like a quilt on your bed,
but you can jump in it,
or ride it on a sled.
A graceful brown doe
and a fluffy gray hare
tromp through the snow
leaving many tracks there.
The prints that now show
make a lovely design
in the quilt made of snow,
so fluffy and fine.
You can make a snow angel.
You can make a snowman.
Or you can hold a ball
of snow in your hand.
The stars that shine at night
glisten on the bright snow.
The moon gives off its light
and the blanket seems to glow.
As the sun shines in the sky
and the days grow warm and long,
I have to say good-bye.
The snow blanket now is gone.
