Snow blankets all
like confectionary sugar -
a fantasy land.
Hydrants are toadstools;
we walk on the clouds.
The light is different,
whiter, brighter.
The day is quiet,
sound swallowed
in a blanket of powder.
The road is still dark.
But for awhile
at least
We are in a different land.

your poems seem to bring a lot of good memories for me. I love the snow. The poems and pictures remind me of when I lived in New York. Walking out side right after it snows is the greatest.
Tue, May 6th, 2008 8:49pmThis is indeed wonderland (sans Alice). Great work. ;-)
Thu, May 15th, 2008 12:58amVery dreamy and comforting. As if, despite the cold, the beauty of such scenery alone is warming, like a heavy blanket. Great job. :)
Tue, June 10th, 2008 3:57pmIt's very dreamy. I also like how you worded this poem. I like snow so yeah. =]

Wed, August 6th, 2008 3:38pmthis poem cooled me (intense Californian summer right now lol) good work! ^__^
Wed, August 6th, 2008 11:52pmI'm a true lover of winter, and this right here, is a big reason why. It really does make the entire world seem like a wonderland. I liked this peace, thanks for sharing it Eraser!
Sun, August 17th, 2008 3:13amHmmm. captivating imagery!
I was slightly salivating at the picture you painted for us.
I especially love "Hydrants are Toadstools"
unique, new, and it works!
However, the last three lines didn't do much for me.
I am not sure how to go about ending a piece like this, but I do feel it could have been one final stunning image.
"We are in a different land"...this should be changed into something more definite. A different land is too bland a description for the already wondrous scene
Dreamy and wonderful. i live in a country that's summer all year round, you know. But you've brought the magic of winter to me.
Wed, December 24th, 2008 4:12amWow I really loved the visual effect of this one, thanks for sharing :)
Tue, February 24th, 2009 11:20amI have to add though that it actually gave me motion sickness, the moving pictures... weird. But I still liked the effect a lot. Guess I'm a masochist.
Tue, February 24th, 2009 11:21amMakes me think of when I was little, and I would wake up to look out the window and see a thick blanket of snow. For just that one moment, you felt like you had been transported in your sleep to some other place.
Tue, February 24th, 2009 2:50pmAnother beautiful piece. You've captured the silent wonder of a wintry day beautifully. There's something airy and delicious in the way you paint your worded picture here. Lovely, lovely.
