The first snowfall always Mesmerizes me. And the fluffy flakes that fell yesterday have Lingered. The bitter cold has allowed the trees to Retain their winter ermine coats. Driving today on a side street I stared at The trees and shrubs hidden beneath the White fluff. Branches arched over the roadway, a Frosted canopy. I tried to compose a poem in my head in order to Capture the moment. The greeting card scene was too beautiful to Keep to myself. But what could I possibly write that I haven't Already penned? Just this. As I absorbed the wonderland around me, I felt like I was experiencing winter's splendor for The very first time. |
