Crystalline structures fall on my lashes
Lifting my mind like a potent euphoriant
The brightness of white in blinding flashes
The winter luster is my spirit’s altivolant
Crystalline structures fall on my nose
All bundled up in my warm winter clothes
The brisk winter breeze I feel in my hair
Brings life to my soul; that cold winter air

This has the touch of Frost to it, as it does remind me of his well metered works. I like the form, it really helps the imagery envelope the reader. Wonderful write!

wow, I love this form. You speak of the snow with such love...as I look out my window and see it's starting to snow again this morning, it's good to be reminded that snow is beautiful lol. Personally though, I could do without any of this morning lol. A beautiful write.

You possess a gift to convey your imagery, and I appreciate your poems. I loved the lines, "Crystalline structures fall on my nose
All bundled up in my warm winter clothes" This gives me a picture which will last forever. Clever you are and to see your mind online, is awesome

Beautifully written. I can't comment of form or meter because I honestly know nothing about poetry legalities. I only know if I like the write. Your's is fantastic.
Peace to you
