A Snowy Landscape
A Snowy Landscape
A white blanket has been laid on
My home, inert with a bedded silence
The stark silhouette of a winter's eve
Are beneath nature's membrane serene
A moment of suspended reality
In a place which yearned for respite
It came in the night with a relentless flurry
A hazy syndrome of swirling majesty
Settled now in a frozen mould
Caught by a warm whisper of the sun's rays
It dripped in despair despite its strength
Night comes with degrees of frost
To seal its presence under a hovering moon
All about has been gripped by the hand of winter's gloom
With an arm of muscular prowess
No welcome is offered or refreshment given
a brittle celluloid of black and white
do freeze the open shutter

Really vividly presented, and fantastic description of winter snow. 'The stark silhouette of a winter's eve, a relentless flurry, swirling majesty, gripped by the hand of winter's gloom, a brittle celluloid of black and white. Brilliant, and for what my opinion may be worth, one of your very best! Can't think why it didn't receive many more comments. jennifer
