What more could one desire

A poem about hope of a coming snow.

January 29^th, 2008

There’s a howling outside my doors

A rattling upon my windows

It’s frigid out there

Numbing

Chilling

Cold

But maybe a blessing will follow

The blessing of tiny white stars

Falling to Earth

Quiet comes with

The city glows a pale peach

While night becomes day

As moonlight reflects upon the sparkling stars

Now fallen and smooth upon the ground

Silence

Peace

Beauty

What more could one desire

On this cold, cloudy night

I LOVE that first near blizzard of winter. The weather channel is going 24/7 thanks to my wife. There's some deep connection between women and weather. You wrote this perfectly. The white death is on it's way. lol But, I love your " tiny white stars." Rain..

At any time.
The only thing that I would suggest for this poem is puctuation but if it is your style to not use it than that is fine too. Poetry is poetry. People enjoy different things.

How stunning this sounds! A city aglow like a peach, from the lights, I must assume. From a bit of fear in the beginning with the wind howling like some fearsome beast. Evolving into the hope for beauty and the silent elegance of a fresh snow covered land.
You truly have captured an image that many people, fail to see.
I like how you have created beauty out of a scene of a simple city.!
Great Job!
