*A Winter’s Dance* A scent in the air Nature is changing her sheets The snow is coming A whisper of wind Soughs through the boughs of dark trees As the sky darkens A splash of siskins Seeks a haven from the storm Among the cedars A few snowflakes fall Floating on the rising wind Heralding the storm In time with the wind The snow falls more heavily As darkness deepens In the wild maelstrom Of this windy snowy night The dance continues Until such a time As the wind and falling snow Bow out to the moon In the bright moonlight The landscape is magical White serenity The storm is over An owl calls in the distance One answers nearby The dawn will witness Nature’s wonderful artwork In this snow-clad land © Regis Auffray

Nicely said. I remember snow although I escaped to California when I was young. When it was as you described it it was beautiful, but I also remember walking home from school and freezing my butt off. I guess you have to take the bad with the good.

Beautiful. The poem took me back to days of my childhood in Vermont! I loved the pure whitness of the snow which covered mountains and valleys. Smoke from fires within homes drifted lazily in the the winter sky , bringing feeling of warmth and comfort! I dream of it , but sure do not want to go back to the frigid weather! That is why i live in Florida !!!!!

A beautiful portrait of winter, visional, dreamlike and real at the same time.

A finer description of an overnight snow in poetry, I haven't read in a long time. Beautiful imagery and memory of many snows like that when I resided in the North.

Beautifully written. I no longer live in a place that has snow that inspires poetry. I miss living in places like that. Especially Wyoming.
