Twas a crisp evening, sky covered with haze
Creatures hibernate away stirring days
Nightfall begins the blanket starts to break
Falling star from above, spinning snowflake
Weeping silver snow on a winters night
Icy angel tears frozen pearly white
Broken glass crunches underfoot, sweet frost
Crystallized sparkle, world beneath is lost
Angels of winter, spray sugar around
Watching fairy lights fall straight to the ground
Frosty cotton sheet forming on the earth
For children of the morn to show its worth
Happy faces, a Jack Frost creation
Winter snow, a Christmas decoration

These lines sum up the spirit of the poem for me.
Lovely writing indeed.

Yay a poem that rhymed (well). These make me so happy. ANd this is so exception. I love the first stanza. It flows so nicely. Awesome job. I enjoyed reading this.

I think sonnets in all there restricted parameters often work better when the meter is controlled and maximized with simplistic images like here. You've retained the essence of a sonnet here stylising it in old fashoined verse controlled yet evocative.
Not easy to accomplish i salute you. -
Oh this is simply beautiful. Snow is so pretty and it's natures way of decorating the earth for us so we can get through these frozen days a little easier
Beautiful.

Wow, very impressive. You have such a beautiful way of expressing such a normal thing (at least from me coming from minnesota it's normal). I love how you phrase things.

Excellent
How very wonderful. Your imagery really rocks. I especially liked the second and third stanzas. BEAUTIFUL sonnet and not frequently seen that a sonnet on nature so fills the soul.
