Today it snowed. Well, technically speaking, last night it snowed. I woke up and looked outside my window to see the trees painted with frost; the sky a blanket of pure white. In other words, it was absolutely spectacular, and certainly poetic material. Thus this came to be...
Such luxury had become a memory,
World covered in a carpet of silver splendour,
My groggy morning turned to dreamy,
The shimmer of frosty carpet everywhere.
The evergreens and elms alike,
Withered and feathered arms bequeathed,
The flowing tresses of the willow,
Droplets of silver leave them steeped.
My breath lies frozen in the crisp of air,
Birds peck courageously at their icy bath,
Squirrels scampering from their cozy lair,
Excited twitter meets excited chatter.
It seems a sacriledge to tramp,
With heavy boots and lightened heart,
Over this carpet of frost and purity,
Yet over drift and ice I dance.

I took the picture this morning. ^_^ So beautiful! Even as I sit here I can see the snow outside my window. And I can still remember the thrill that went through me when I looked out that window first thing this morning. It was almost like being 6 years old again on Christmas morning. xD
