Winter Morning...

While

awakening

from a restful sleep
I got a beautiful view,
it was a wintry day's scene.
I saw snowflakes dancing in the air
falling slowly, taking over my window panes.
Wind-blown leaves fluttering, weaving their descent.

A canopy of crystal covered leaves, branches of trees,

like diamonds, sparkling beautifully under cold wintry skies.

It was, then I realized, the Dawning of Winter.

What a splendorous view.

Beautifully done
What a lovely touch making it the shape of a tree. I have never tried shape poetry but this is lovely!
Great job!
