B E A U T I E S O F S N O W ~ An Acrostic Sonnet

BRIAN & ANGELA

B  BEAUTY of SNOW its transformation

E  EXTREMELY dark and drab Winter Landscapes 

A  ARE transformed  into Winter Wonderlands

U  UNDER a blanket of pristine white SNOW

T  TREES become magical ~ each bejewelled with

I   ICE CRYSTALS in place of their Summer leaves  

E  EVERYWHERE sparkles in the Winter Sun

S  STATES in the North get SNOW ~ Florida zilch ! 

 

O  OF course there is always a price to pay ......

F   FOR such instant beauty ~ transport slows down !

 

S  SNOW allows us to ski and sleigh ~ all day

N  OW we can put a SNOWFLAKE under an ..... 

O  OPTICAL MICROSCOPE each one different

W  WOW ~ Perfect HEXAGON ~ BEAUTY of SNOW !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX

I trust you are not inconvenienced by the Snow in your Area ?

    I am afraid I suffer from cold induced urticaria (put simply I am allergic to the cold and get the opposite to heat rash and suffer badly with it) so I try to avoid it but I do love to see it - you know one of these days you just might encourage me to have a go at one of these - you make them look so easy but I know they're not - great one Brian.

      Thanks Michael ~ Because I am a classical poet I like to make each line co~syllabic. If there happens to be 14 lines they can become a Sonnet as wel. In a "blank verse" Sonnet the lines do have to be co-syllabic ~ OK. Rhyming ACROSTICS are more difficult but not impossible ! Thanks BRIAN

          Beautiful sonnet, Brian. Wish you could have my snow and the ice that goes with it! You have captured the essence of snow and it's beauty, then the downfall in transportation that it causes. It is magical at Christmas, now, not so much. Excellent, excellent acrostic!! Now I'm going to drive in the snow! Hugs-Christina

            Thanks for your comment CHRIS. Every Blessing as you drive in the SNOW ! We have snow today in the UK ~ roads gridlocked in the North ! I agree Christmas snow is MAGIC but January snow is CIGAM ~ mushy & slushy ! Heavenly Hugs ~ Brian
