BLACK AND WHITE

Snow Landscape

Black and White

heavy wet snow

sleepy limbs

hover above

the frigid earth

icicles reflect

off the sun's radiant glow

melt as its warmth heightens

teardrops slip

patter on the roof

soft chunks plunge

without a murmur

Yellow light flickers

solo in the colorless landscape

smoke rises into a cold sky

hunter cabin's flame

frosted window

merrymaking clatter

seeps through a crack

men's chanting

celebratory jingles

snug on an arctic day

The contrast between V1 & V2 is unexpected & delightful! I was thinking, while reading V1, thank you for reminding me why I live in California (this cold B&W landscape does not seem pretty to me -- altho you do a great job of conveying the starkness!) I wasn't expecting this to transform into the raucous warmth of a hunters cabin! Great job keeping a reader on his/her toes! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Nice. Even this Florida girl can see the scene you depict. Lovely!
