Winter White Wonderland

Standing here, out in the cold fresh air,
With my scarf wrapped tightly around my neck,
And my fingers encased in a pair of woolly blue gloves,
Trying to prevent the crisp of the air biting at my body.

Standing here, I can see such a mysterious land,
Dusted in snow and laced with ice,
A world of such purity and wonder,
With something cold beneath every place I touch.

As I walk between the ice-coated branches,
I can see the sun dancing and jumping all over the snowy floor,
I can hear the frost crackling and crunching,
Beneath my feet that have piercing chills pulsing through my toes.

The frosty covered ice that is draped over the lake,

And the large inches of ice hanging from trees,

With the air so pale and white like it has been bleached with the cold,

A beautiful world of wonder and purity...

    this is really beautiful, and goes so well with that picture. There's nothing more beautiful than a winter scenary. I really like how real your description was, and you made it sound like something from a fairy tale. Good job!

    Loved that line, and the subject can be debatable, which is always good.
    Thank you for entering, this is beautiful

    this has a real quality to it that speaks to me. It pulls you in and envelopes you in the perspective of winter and snow. I can feel the coldness from the poem. Good luck~
