Winter Arrives?

gray as far as
one’s eye can see
that’s what the sky
looks like to me

a solid mass
with nuances of white fluff
it makes one wonder
just what is that stuff

generic cotton candy
dusted with snow
what causes its timbre
its slightest of glow

there’s not been more quiet
in a morn of this type
the nakedest trees
reach for the highest of height

twin “C’s” with a middle
flit and float over branches
that resemble thin fingers’
calisthenic stretches

December’s the time of  year
we all know
If it weren’t for the warm
I’m quite sure it would snow.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Nice portrayal of the season, VAS.  And here, it snows plenty!!
