The fresh white snow glistens and sparkles
Like a blanket of white
It crunches beneath my feet
My breath comes out
In little smoky plumes
Twisting, turning, twizzling
The snow falls in bunches
I stick out my tongue and close my eyes
A snowflake melts in my mouth
The robins are singing
And shaking their wings
Meanwhile animals curl up and hibernate
I smell...
fresh air...nature
Winter is here

I wasn't overwhelmed with snow falling in 'bunches' and my nose is usually too cold to smell much. I can remember snow melting in my mouth though.
I've done a few of these but I try and avoid the clichéd phrases, always a difficult subject Nature.
It portrays winter and the lighter side quite nicely though. well done the robins are a nice, little seen, inclusion.
