There is a lot of 'wa' in the alliterative wording of WHITE THE WORLD. Along with the personification of Winter, you have represented the latest reoccurrence of snow and the season with the joy and enthusiasm of a child (prior to getting out the snow shovel).

You can make anything sound lovely - even snow! LOL! "Crisp the air..." You can say that again! "no expense is Winter sparing." Yep. Sure is expensive keeping a house warm. LOL! Okay, enough arguing. It is beautiful. Thanks for the reminder, Brooke. I'll just throw another log on and enjoy the view. I enjoyed the reverse syntax. Lovely rhyming, Brooke.

Well, aside from the totally racist title, I loved this. The movement is so strong that the poem just dances down the page. The rhymes are superb as always and the visuals equally so. I love the no expense spared in blinging (might be a word)up the world.

Hi Brooke,

You done good, girl. This is a magical reminder of how beautiful a snow covered surface looks. Equating the flakes to pearls glorifies it even more. This is my favorite line because it is so whimsical: no expense is Winter sparing

Hugs,
Lou

Lovely poem about winter with an excellent rhyming scheme.These were my favorite lines:

Pure the pearls the world is wearing
no expense is Winter sparing.
All the world in white is donned
where the Winter's waved her wand.

Well done!

Who can resist writing a poem or two, on snow. It begs to be frozen into imagery. Once again every phrase falls neatly into place. -Ekim777

Brooke: such a lovely snow poem! It took me right back to my Michigan days of white everywhere winters. Those memories have good and not-so-good images for me. Watching kids play in the snow after a blizzard and warming them up with hot chocolate topped with tiny marshmellows once they could no longer tolerate the cold. Thanks for the memories. Linda
