An army of black scarves came pouring, gusting
The flapping arms engulfing my forehead, cheeks, and chin
I was blind in shades of ivory and bloodless skin
Dragging in, throbbing: the luminosity was an ice cave
Each sparkle was the anonymous echo of navy-gray frost
My limbs curled like a hibernating creature
Appendages locked in a mangle of silver winds
The pines, encrusted white, shivered and crumpled
The mountains sobbed, dusting the land in a pale hush
The royal and sapphire and charcoal rolled overhead
Beneath the quiet I found endless miles of sleep

fuck fuck fuck! amazing
Haven't been on here in a while and when I come back you are always one of the ones who makes me want to come on here more Your piece is so impressive. Although I didn't feel so much as snow as much as i felt like a pebble in the sea when reading it I still totally loved it when i reread it.
As ever, awesome.

fantastic imagery; it reminds me of a modern rendition of the Star Coin Girl fairy story.
Sorry, that video does nothing for me. Why not fluffy demon?

I love all of the descriptions you used; they were do different from the typical ones that are almost a for sure sign of every poem about winter. You made this your own made it stand out
LOVED the last few lines of this poem; they were wild and unadulterated.
This made me want to dance in the snow falls amongst naked trees
Thanks for entering peach!!

to be totally blunt i thought the last six lines where alot more vivid than the first stanza. although the first stanza is definatly not bad at all it kind of threw off the rest of the poem in my opinion, in fact i think the last lines could have held their own, or maybe if you just trimmed the first stanza a bit it would fit better. then again im a total nut and im just putting in my two cents you dont have to listen to me! either way i did feel the isolation and there is a very chilling atmosphere to the words you chose, so good poem hunnie <3
