Snowflakes fall like feathers <br />To thicken the blanket on the ground <br />Bare trees also give testament <br />To the fact that winter is here <br />Water is frozen, 'cept where it runs fast <br />There's a creaking at the edges <br />Where it's gripped fast, in an icy clasp <br />The snow is now a blizzard curtain <br />Hiding the sun from view <br />But there's no warmth in it anyway <br />All life is hushed, nothing moves <br />The earth is at rest now until the spring.<br /><br />Marilyn Shepperson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wintertime/
