The quietness of snow does bring lots of silence. When snow falls, I think it's perhaps weightless unless it is snowing heavy. Snow is rather pretty until it makes hazardous driving.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
The snow has a tendency to stop everything and let us take in breath and enjoy the view and take stock and the silence helps to soothe us too, much enjoyed, fine words, love Dolly x

You have made very effective use of your seventeen syllables in this lovely nature piece that describes an awe-inspiring scene. Seclusion and snow--appealing combination

Comment from Sherry Asbury
How beautiful this is! A perfect 5-7-5 poem and a lovely thought that grabbed my imagination. One thing I love about the snow is the stillness...no cars...no screaming from the ranters...the busyness goes away. Very fine presentation.

Comment from Elizabeth Emerald
Elegant and fresh--striking imagery of seclusion as being encased in quiet thoughts. Lovely alliteration and assonance in SSSSSS. This is a contender for sure.

Your words plus beautiful picture pair perfectly, Mystery Author. I enjoyed reading this well thought out poem. Your syllable count is correct per line, and your words paint a great picture.
Best wishes in the contest.

Comment from victor 66
My wife calls my home in the deep woods, isolation. All I see it as being secluded from a world gone awry. Even though she thinks this way, she still spends five months out of the year with me surrounded by trees and lakes. This is as close to heaven is as I'll ever come. It's not so much heaven for her. Good luck.

Comment from MissMerri
This really resonates with me, Melissa, as I have always been fond of the snow and especially love the amazing quiet the first snowfall brings with it. This captures that feeling so beautifully and the picture you've chosen is also stunning. I had to wonder why you didn't post this as a poem, but it works just fine as is. I loved it.

Hello sweet friend. I DID post this as a poem in today's contest and I cannot get it to change from fiction into poetry. It is all skewed and I have contacted Tom and he said I had to go in and change it, but there is no choice for poetry. I am so confused. Thank you, Adonna!!

-Nice artwork.
-The syllable count is good,
along with the topic.
-The imagery creates a peaceful mood.
-A very good concluding line.
-Good luck in the contest.
Note: You posted this as fiction and
the second line is divided into 2 parts.
You have decent money on this so
you want it visible as a poem; it
looks a lot better that way, too.
-Go to 'Community,' 'Ask Us' and
send Tom a note saying you would
like this shown as a poem. He is
the only one who can change it.
Always check before you post, and
you can change the designation yourself.

That is really weird. He always changes people's work. Why don't you try again. He needs to know that you had already posted it, and can't go back and change it. He has always done it before. Tell him the name of the poem, too.
