Five Poemlets on New Snow (an exercise from chapter 7)

1
Lights twinkle through the window
casting colored glitter
onto the newly fallen snow.

2
The trees nod their heads wearily
weighted with the cares
of newly fallen snow.

3
Low sky glows pink with farm lights.
The night world is soft with new snow.

4
The cold kisses of the sky
sizzle away on your cheeks
looking like tears.

5
The silence is immense and soft;
is the world sleeping
beneath this blanket of new snow?
