Living in a tropical country I have never come across snowfall except in films and pictures. So I let my imagination flow. I do understand the trials of those living in minus degree climates for over long periods.

Snowfall on pine trees in Kashmir,India in December Silently the snowfall hastens Swirls the snowflakes,when the great show is on Layer by layer it hauls down cascading The seasonal game now in full swing forge Crowning molecules laden over on surface big and small Spotlessly white, naturally bright In the shadow of the dark night A shining spectacular sight The dreamy moonlight outstretched Like little plumes of feathers, snowfall aimlessly flying Cotton balls striking in hail storm Like white pollen from flower falling unfurled Shining white surface on land, milky white lakes Wild is the wind while lingering in line Freezing cold icicles lace in delight Spreads long distances across harsh seas Mountains of it floating in the wetness Glaciers in dark, translucent glass sparkle The eyes inhale the calmness of the colour white Covering secrets within its anointed eyelids Indeed nature’s many treasures To share with mankind in all measure O for the joy and pleasure For having the sky blue and the snow, a shining white And the tall pine tree leaves peaking through it all Is this a heaven that formed on earth Enchanting with its miraculous gifts Somewhere deep within my heart It makes my chambers warm For the feel of a heaven where we finally rest is here.

you learned well from pics and films ...

when living in a city, snow is inspiring and beautiful the first couple of day but then it swiftly becomes a pain in the ass ...

For never having experienced snowfall, your poem is spot on. I have experienced all those things in my first 20 years of life, including walking many blocks to school in 50 below zero Fahrenheit. I also skated outdoors for hours, skied, and waded in snow up to my waist. Long periods of snow and ice can get you down, but the first snowfall is always a delight until a blizzard sets in and freezes your ***off.

They say we are going to get snow and ice tonight here in Houston for the first time in three years. Maybe, with global warming, you will be seeing snow where you are in India.

For never being in snow you got it perfectly. I love the 'cotton balls striking in hail storm.' Someday maybe you'll get the chance to stand in snow and watch it fall.

You have given us a fantastic view of snow, which to make it even more enjoyable is the fact that you have never experienced it first hand. Wonderful imagery.

This is a stunning description of winter and winter's wonder--a new fallen snow. But as magical as your description, you've got to get your face rubbed in that white stuff and pummeled with a couple of dozen hard-packed snowballs in order to fully appreciate the fun and bitterness of it all. Well done, my friend.

Snowfall is truly very wondrous to behold,
But this year, we also have the bitter cold.
