Snow

[The Madcap]

White carpet cold stretched to the beyond
A frozen field infinite in its brightness
Blinding and silent in the chilled winter air
Icy wonder, the first snow of the season

Unbroken by footprints in the morning sunrise
A floor of cold crystals in front of me
Pearls of ice hang from twisted branches above
As I look ahead and take my first step

An explosion of sound blasts through the air
Breaking the silence of the winter morning
As I spoil the purity of the freshly laid snow
Ruining forever the innocence around me

1. Your descriptions are good and so are the way you use metaphors.

Keep writing!

2. Thank you for the encouragement!

After the election, I'm going to try to write a bit less on politics/social issues...if things turn out right, that is. Lately, that just seems to be the focus of my attention.

Thanks again.

5. I was picturing stepping out of a cabin

in remote Minnesota after a snow. Everything pristine under a clear blue sky.
