SNOWFLAKES

Beauty is a star falling removed from its warmth, its shape frozen forever crystalline on the ground until the sun shines.

I SEE ANGLES (WPC: Angular)

  Steep northeastern roofs make the snow slide  safely to the ground  but when the sun is bright, the snow melts slowly,  the water freezes as it drips, icicles form.   They glitter like Christmas Tree ornaments but those pointy tips spell danger to me.   WPC:  ANGULAR

AUTUMN SNOW (for WPC: Descent 2)

How the children squealed with delight and ran outdoors with open arms to catch the falling flakes with an expectant tongue. I watched from the window how the children danced while my heart retreated from the swirling

HAPPY NEW YEAR

OUR CELEBRATION The year slipped into the woods unnoticed, except by the stars looking down from above. The deep snow must have muffled its steps and the frigid winds trapped its voice while they kept us  buried under layers and layers of quilts behind sealed windows and doors.
