Edges of cloud reach and feather forward
gathering their strength in the cold blue
winter crystals tale the form of snow
their weight begging them to fall
and slowly the snowstorm begins

breezes soon lighten then fade
leaving no stirring of the trees
no sounds to be heard except for
the soft whisping of snowflakes
collecting slowly on the ground

My daughter comes outside
overdressed by her mother
hardly able to move in her snowsuit
but she does not notice anything
but the snow where she will play

A real man

kisses his children goodnight

Funny just got a phone call from my friend in Maine to say they had even more snow. I think you are so lucky as I love snow, and she was complaining...and here you are with this beautiful poem showing you are loving it too! Loved your poem, don't forget to get down their in the snow with your daughter, and make snow angels it is good for your soul, trust me!

So... rather than "the lull before the storm"... this would be "the storm before mud season"???.... Nicely done, James...

Snow? What is that? You describe it so beautifully...all we have is sunshine in California.
