Snow (haiku/poem)





Whispers lavender
in chilly white disguises
that call to me.


Winter has come and, with it, snow is falling.  Personally, I love snow.  I love its fluffiness and its resolute whiteness.  I love the sound it makes as it drifts through the treetops.  I love its fragrant taste as it lands on my tongue.  And I certainly love the aromatic, fresh scent that drifts from it at 5 o'clock in the morning. It is a unique substance, far better than rain or cotton candy, and I adore waking up to a white front yard.

Today is the first day in quite a while that it has snowed.  Snow flurries have been going since early afternoon and the temperature has already dropped below freezing.  As I look outside at the already accumulating snow-drifts, I look forward to a relaxing Sunday complete with sledding, snowball fights, and my little dog running around like a maniac.  I made sure to get hot cocoa for the occasion.


Sincerely,
