A lustrous quilt of ivory flakes
Twirls nimbly towards the level ground
Glistening with precious grace
Tumbling without making a sound
The mountainside is cloaked in chrome
A hue lucent from mirrored sunlight
The flakes flooding a vacant sky
Like joyous pixies clothed in white
The pointed needles of the pines
Are weighed upon with wintry frost
A pattern matched by none other
Yet, blended in and idly lost
The glistening canvas hides my view
Lodged along the window’s frame
The pedals dread only inbound Spring
Lest its warmth dare thaw their fame

This is just fabulous! So descriptive, and good rhyming, too. As LaBelle commented previously, this background does match the poem, in some weird sense!
