WHITE WINTER
Quietly I will come to you,
In the silence of the night.
You'll wake to find no skies of blue,
The landscape daubed in white.
Look at what I bring with me,
There's little I'll leave to chance.
I'll put to sleep, the sap of the tree,
There's nothing will stop my advance.
But look for the beauty of my duration,
The silhouettes of a snow covered land.
Look at a tree and us your imagination,
The transformation is nothing short of grand.

Poetry: When winter comes
by Mia Marks
WHITE WINTER
Quietly I will come to you,
In the silence of the night.
You'll wake to find no skies of blue,
The landscape
The leaves have fallen,
Covering the ground below,
Everyone has been raking,
Bagging them up.
The moist cool air has changed,
by Melissa Mays
Hoping for a subtle settling
Just as the last beautifully stained leaf falls, a peaceful transition
to dust the barrenness
White Thrills
Of summer months many often speak well;
it is winter through which they prefer
not long to dwell.
Blustery,
Winter's Slumber
My painted autumn came to an end as
the breath of God turned morning dew to a lacey rime
Gale force winds
