How delicate and frosty soft her raiment is, shy maiden that she is, she strews her petals white, to cover earth’s face gently, when the kids are tucked in bed, and every one no longer is awake. On wings of chilly winds, she flies all over roofs. and decks the gardens full in shiny silver flakes. Like Santa who does love to climb down chimney tops, with stealthy foot she creeps in silence through the dark. Does she desire to wrap the earth in gifts of frost surprise each child as he awakes in early morn, enticing him to run out ‘round the yard and play? But then the chilly wind gets stronger and begins to sweep her garments into flurry shreds of white so merciless it is, she’s left in icy daze. And now she struggles bravely to awake and hide some tiny clumps of flakes on all the barest trees, that even smaller bushes sparkle crystal clear. The kids awake to find her lying faint, but still she dazzles them in all her pristine loveliness. And though she’s melting at their touch, too soft to roll into a ball, how she is fondled and belov’d. |

jjote, I'm happy to vote for your poem. Please be aware that your title should be exactly the same as it was in its first post if it is to recoup original votes...  |

I could envision clearly the beauty of new fallen snow through this poem. Your words gave it a wonderful flair.  Sometimes we have to follow a stronger voice, even if it's silent. |

  Yay!!! I happily re-cast my vote for this, sweet friend, this is gorgeous, your lovely words always make me smile and we basically got our first "real" snow in Colorado this week when we got the biggest blizzard since 1914: 31 inches of snow in Denver and 53 in other areas! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Josefina, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!

Glad that you reposted this one. Dazzling and mesmerizing descriptions. I have been whining about being ready for Spring, but you sure know how to bring back the allure of a snowy landscape. Well done. |

NOtwithstanding my "cold" title, your words warm my heart. Thanks all for your encouraging words. I think that's the title of the original post. |
