A Cold and Quiet Place There is a hush in falling snow That mutes familiar sounds I know. The neighbor's dog seems far away And though I see him every day, He always barks when he's let out, In case there's anything about! The yard light shows big, fluffy flakes, That fall upon the walk and makes A smooth, inviting path of white, That disappears into the night. It seems mysterious and strange, The way the snow builds up to change The contours and appearance of The lawn and shrubbery I love. I like this cold and quiet place, Where snowflakes melt upon my face And I feel part of nature's realm, With Old Man Winter at the helm! Betty Lou Hebert |

Joyce: Thanks for reading. I have been stepping outside after dark, as we have deer coming in to browse our back yard. so beautiful to see and as long as I stay quiet, they don't mind me being there. Betty Lou Hebert |

Dear Marge: I don't blame you for not wanting this cold. -14 degrees last night and set a record from 1924. It's snowing again too, but this should be our last frigid night! I wish I were in Florida! Betty Lou Hebert |

This is wonderful, Betty Lou! It's like you were thinking my very thoughts when the other night we received our bit of snowfall. I hadn't the heart to take down the Christmas lights outside just yet - for my daughter of course  - and I caught a glimpse of their glow on the fallen snow. It was so pretty - like your words here. Well done, my friend!Love, Shereen. |

Shereen: Nice to hear from you and glad you enjoyed the poem. We are definitely living in a winter wonderland here! Have about 2 feet of snow and it is still snowing. Has been frigid temps. but is warming a bit. It is really beautiful to look at, but driving in it is something else! Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

Images...I love images in a poem. When they are original or a different slant, I applaud heartily. Good effort! Jesse Even with insects- |
