Question: Do you feel the cold at this time of year!?
Threadbare mists advance
Infiltrating the treeline
Creating a landscape of wraiths,
Spectres, tree-skeletons!.
A muslin veil over
A half-world of
Soft shadows and
Sensed shapes,
Frost-rimed ephemera!.!.
Fog flows up the valley
On ponderous lion's paws
A visual avalanche
Of silent white
Pillowed on the land
Sound and vibrancy
Choked off, stymied,
Hidden from view
In a sepulchre of
Swirling purest samite!.
Timeless limbo
Holding off the sun
Until the light fades
And ice forms!.
Winter reigns!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Good stuff! Lovely imagery!. I love it!.
Like Tennyson you seem to think that Samite is a gauzy fabric, don't you!? It isn't!. Dictionary definition is a heavy silk fabric often with gold interwoven!.
Still, making the same mistake as Tennyson can't be all bad!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
