MAINE SNOW Autumn slipped quietly into Winter With cool crisp air, just a hinter Of the billowing white to come When frosty clouds become undone First it's just a few bits of white Crystallized tears floating ever so light Then whirling and dancing high in the air Snowflakes drifting down without a care As the temperature drops ever so low The winter chill begins to blow A wailing wind of frosty breath Freezing the land in silent death Flurried flakes are falling fast So hypnotizing in their task White whistling thru barren trees Snow loaded branches bow as they freeze Then the blustering snow settles down To find a tranquil white calm all around The mountain huddles in a blanket of velvet snow As a crystal moon shines on a sparkling forest below |

This was so beautiful. I love the snow especially on Christas Eve and Christmas. Nicely done Kat.I have never been to Maine but I have always wanted to go. I have only been as far north as Conn. ~Victoria |

Enjoyed this, my friend. Down here in the Houston area of Texas we so little snow it's all but non-existent - most years having none at all. You described it well. j. |

What a lovely picture you've painted. I have only seen fresh fallen snow in Maine one time, after all the trips I've made to visit my family there. It is a beautiful site to behold and you have made it come to life with your poem. So pretty, and a perfect way to start the New Year. |

Victoria - Christmas snow is indeed very special. Glad you enjoyed my snow. nate15106 - Hope you enjoy the image. Welcome to PIP. jwesly - I'd gladly send you some of my snow if I could, I've got plenty to spare. Blues - You've gotta come back to Maine in winter. It's very beautiful right now! Thanks all for stopping by. Happy New Year! Kat >^..^< |

Desriptive within such a ryming pattern, this style isnt seen much, i used to give it a go but it has escaped me of late...enjoyed this very much, thank you for sharing...happy new year to you.. Goldenrose. music was my refuge.i could crawl into the spaces between the notes and curl my back to loneliness - Maya Angelou |

Goldenrose -Thanks for stopping by to read and comment. Rhyming comes easily to me and it's my favorite style to use the most. TD - Yes snowfall can be beautifully hypnotic. Glad you enjoyed. Richy - Always wonderful hear from you my friend! I'm sure my Maine weather is much different than your CA. weather. I have lived in both states and as much as I hate the cold, I wouldn't give up Maine's winter beauty. Kat >^..^< |
