I think this is a good entry for the Nonet Poetry contest.
You tell of the transition from fall top winter white very nicely.
Well done and good luck to you with the contest.

their waning splendor heaves
and moans <-- They fight against the snow, but they're bound to lose, for their time is over.

Very well written with good vocabulary and description. :)

Oooooo...love the wonderfully cold yet 'soul-warming' offering you've got here, Lady D! :) Please tell me, though, that y'all don't have that much snow yet..? :) :) :) I don't know why your words scream 'cold' and then 'held close' -- perhaps the 'ermine', perhaps not -- but your nonet stirs more than just the frigid of winter's snow... :) :) Thanx for sharing and best of luck, my friend, in the contest! ;) Yvette

Heave and moan they do. Haven't any any significant snowfall yet, but it's coming! White coat of ermine is lovely, along with necklaces of white diamonds on the trees...

great poetry; lovely words. The image does show the message in your poem wonderfully. Great writing. Good luck at the polls. We are having this kind of weather here.
