Snow

Gray skies cover my view

of a world blanketed in snow.

The wind shies away from the light,

Yet I can see where it is restless.

Ice casts a shadow over the moon,

for nothing is quite so brilliant as winter's tears.

An eternity of white fills my eyes

as I step out into winter.

Nothing that is so harsh in this world

could be so gentle as the snow.

For though no life lies beneath,

winter itself lives in the frozen depths.

I look back and watch my footprints;

a shadow of life,

disappear as winter lives again.

Thoroughly enjoyed "Snow"; marries pleasing style to stark imagery.
Overall, impressions of grace and beauty prevail.
Very fine work, M!

Not bad, not sure what you're trying to say or if it makes sense. I don't really respond to it. Have you ever read this poem about snow? Make sure you read the whole thing, or you'll miss the payoff. http://www.hymnsandcarolsofchristmas.com/Poetry/beautiful_snow.htm

Wow your imagery was vivid I very much liked this piece. I also like you you personified winter making snow it's tears. Great poem :D

I walked outside inside this piece and the ice cold smacked my face in such a manner I thanked it for telling me I'm alive. "Nothing so harsh could be so gentle"....love that. well done.

I enjoyed this verbal snapshot very much. You have painted an elegant picture with your words here. I guess my only question would be with "shies", should that be "shys"? To be honest, I am absolutely unsure. It just looked peculiar to me. But either way, you have captured and conveyed the feeling superbly.

This is well done. I love the snow, but the winters can be so hard here! I like the descriptive words and the meloncholy of this write.
