Snowflakes' Touch

Cheeky Missy

(sonnet attempt # XV) 

XV

Now softly falling, thickly, light fat flakes, 
Quite silencing so deftly all the world.
The sweetest stillness now pervades and swirls
Enchantingly all 'round, and overtakes
The usual bustle life incessant makes: 
As if some hand the wand has twirled.......
Majestic, breathless, purity unfurled! 
Replacing, blanketing, creating...wakes
A rev'rence....Sparkling eyes, exuberance
Yet tempered by its peace, we gaze and dream
On winter wonderland where once was bareness, 
Which beckoning enticingly, "Come hence!"
Yet also making cozier it seems
Indoors.....so happily both worlds doth bless.

    Bill is smiling.

    It has been years since I have been involved with snow as you wrote about in this excellent sonnet, but I could taste and feel your words and they brought back some wonderful memories.

    You have a talented gift of expression, and I am grateful we have met on the Superhighway of the World Wide Web.

      Thank you very much for you kind comment....I am thankful it has communicated that delightful enjoyment, for I was picturing it as I composed...if I can get a photo of what I was seeing in my mind's eye when I wrote this, I hope to put it on top.

      Snow is falling outside, and this sonnet is an expression of what I am seeing

        You're kidding! Cool! Thanks alot....it's been snowing here too, since mid-afternoon, but nothing like this sonnet...just tiny almost indiscernible "flakes"....so I still have to wait for a better time to get a picture...Thanks again!
