Snowscape

Cheeky Missy

(sonnet attempt #XXIII) 

XXIII

The air is white with steadily falling snow.
Which burying so imperceptibly, 
Yet likewise creating in powdering
A landscape familiar yet unknown.
How beautiful the barren world now grows: 
As generously frosting delicately
The verdure, trees, as well ev'rything,
Delightful scenery again unfolds.
Great mounds oft oddly-shaped betray th'old scene, 
As like a moonscape this new one appears.
White-laced tree skeletons, now clothed serene
Entice the wond'ring eye, no more austere.
Snow leveling the landscape white and clean, 
We venture out afresh as pioneers!

  • Comment from author about the poem: 'Twas snowing 'fore daybreak, gradually increasing through the day, and casually reflecting on it as I breakfasted, I began tentatively to compose....I am rather frustrated though, with how it reads...go on tear into it...or maybe I'll edit it....more.
