Puffy gray clouds
Icy flakes fall
Skin kissed by the cold
A sting so soft it's almost imperceptible
The world
a study in black and
white
tinged blue.
The silence of winter its own
melody
A snowfall so tranquil
Winters light
Deadly it's inspiration
Trees dark in slumber.
Extend
frozen branches skyward
Reaching for warmth
Promised but undelivered
Invaders these moist white flakes
Causing chills so deep
When shadows descend
Their mighty claws appear
Strong arms
Frozen hugs
Death's grip
Until spring's thaw

Beautiful photos and descriptions Yolanda. You told me snow was coming. Wow!!
Time to stay inside and get warm together!
Some great photos. Snow is truly amazing what it does to the world.
Nice snow study! Love the pics too.
Lovely poem. The imagery is so evocative I almost wished the beautiful shots were absent. You paint a vivid ice-land.
Great shots. With that out there though, Valentines day should be spent indoors
Your ability to set a scene makes me jealous. Such a great poetic voice!
OMGosh, Yolanda. How perfect.
The loveliest words, my friend. They match the beautiful photos. I heart you. XOXO
Loved that! The impact of your words were so much bigger with those images.

Looking a bit like that round here lately too. Snow really does make things beautiful and I liked your presentation. Happy Valentine's
Hey Yolanda,
Excellent. This may well be the coolest post you've ever done. Awesome, atmospheric photos. And before I make a total ice of myself, I shall snow, um, go now....
