Yeah and it looks like the winter's wand as waved itself over so much of the country! Great job once again capturing this special time of year.

Love the way you have used the letter W in this poem. It creates a picture and feel for winter and is almost a song.Pure the pearls the world is wearing is a marvelous line that adds to the strength of the poem. This is a winter gem.

Comment from Caressa_08
I liked all the 'w' words that you used in your lines, complementary to the word White, instead of snow...How clever. Yes, Indeed, White the World, has started up, as its that time of year...For us in the Midwest, East & North sections of the US, & Alaska & too, some other countries..Instead of rain this time of the year, snow is here once again.. Though, where I reside, it suppose to break a record, tomorrow of getting down to 6 or 7 degrees, & it seems way too early as winter isn't even been official yet. & still trying to get my winter wardrobe together..

Comment from Gladness
Very fun poem. It makes the snow sound so beautiful. I am in Sunnyvale California, and only get to see the snow if I travel to the mountains. This poem makes it sound worth the trip. :) Thanks

Thank you, Anita, for your gracious review :-) My daughter, who lives in Encino, goes to Big Bear a few days each year near Christmas :-) Brooke

I like your poem and how the lines repeat.
It rhymes well and will be enjoyable to read, because who
doesn't like snow when it falls.
Good luck with it.

I enjoyed reading this poem because right now Indiana. Is being pelted with snow. It is almost hard to believe that it is not snowing everywhere in the world.

a poem in rhyming couplets 'White the World.' What a beautiful poem you have created here, Brooke. Is that Sawyer hiding away in the toque? Well done.

LOL, nope, no Sawyer :-) He lives in sunny southern California where he tells his mommy it's getting chilly when it dips down to 80 LOL :-) Thanks so much, my friend Brooke

You're most welcome, Brooke. Lucky Sawyer. He sure has the world at his little feet.
-
During September and October he had a little rough patch adjusting to nursery school - he cried for his mommy - but then a couple weeks ago he decided he loves school, so now life is perfect again LOL

Aren't they absolutely adorable.
Comment from dragonpoet
This poem shows a clear image of pristine snow right after a new fall. The picture shows how we have to dress to feel safe in the cold that comes along with the snow.
I like the repetition of used her wand and in white is donned.
I thought if it is in rhyming couplets it had to have only two line stanzas. I thought this would be defined as a quatraine poem with aaBb aabB aabB rhyme scheme.
Keep writing.
Joan.

Brooke, I love the repetition of both the rhymes and the slightly modified lines. Makes my mind swirl, just like your snowflakes. :) Nancy

This is a mouthful! Well worth the little bit of rehearsal though to get it right. Sooo much fun to read this. It sounds like snow falling in the wind when read out loud. At least to me it does. This is a rather amazing collection a connected words. Quite excellent. mikey
