![]() Snowflakes by Linda L. Dowd +*+*+*+*+*+ As snowflakes fall in slow descent from skies of heather blue, they shimmer in the morning light ~ Sky sparkles in rainbow hue. Fine filigrees of ice-limbed trees are strokes of Nature’s brush. All is silent and so serene in the mid of winter's hush. A coverlet of mantle white is blanketing Mother Earth ~ warming Her thru’ winter months 'til the blush of spring's rebirth. As snowflakes fall in slow descent from skies of heather blue, they shimmer in the morning light ~ Sky sparkles in rainbow hue. +*+*+*+*+*+ www.lindadowd.com |

Wow until i read this i never actually relized that snow is like earths blanket. I liked the fact it made me think and picture the earth sleeping with a blanket covering it. Very good imagery |

This is truly so beautiful and beautifully written! I loved the imagery it creates, and it has such a warmth to it. Really loved this stanza: "A coverlet of mantle white is blanketing Mother Earth ~ warming Her thru’ winter months 'til the blush of spring's rebirth." Just lovely! xo J |
