Do You Hear The Sound
Do you hear the sound
of the wind whipping round,
all the snowflakes swirling down
to light upon the ground,
as they pile up around
everything found!

Winter snows can be amazing….gentle and soft or blowing, swirling and making everything white in no time. During this winter season, I am sharing some of my winter poems. This one was written in 2012.
Currently, February is acting more like March with warmer temps and melted snows. These pictures are from last year, during our typical snowy and cold February. You can read more about our typical winter here, on my garden blog.
I am joining in with Poets United for their weekly poetry link up for poets who blog. Visit them to read some more wonderful verse.
If you enjoy reading this blog, I welcome you to share it with others. I enjoy spreading the blog love, and I appreciate all who come and read my blogs.

Snow?
A virtually complete mystery to me.
My only experiences with it have been silent. Gentle. Mysterious.
I love hearing about it from a different, more vigorous perspective.
Oh you should experience it someday…it so amazing…we are getting 2 ft more in our latest worst storm yet this winter.
My darling Donna,
your words and your photographs are truly gorgeous, thank you for sharing all the love you have in your heart !
Blessed be
Dany
You are so very welcome Dany! Much love to you!!
No – but you reminded me that i should and how magical it can be.. we rarely get snow but i love it first thing in the morning when it’s still and there are no footprints and you feel like you are the only one watching through the window..that has a sound..and a feeling..comforting as cotton wool
Oh yes…..and that is the perfect time to see the snow!
Always so pretty… what you hear is the magnified silence!
Indeed…what I love about the snow!
A delight to see, to imagine through your words, lyrics… Snow!!! Wow…
Always lovely; now, february is more and more like april, but without green buds or fresh leaves… It’s cold, but somehow beautiful, just because sun is up and looking so good… and the sky is different!
At forecast…well, not sure! What will be, will be… perhaps some snow, soon or rain… or warmer days…
*-* Till the real spring will come, it is still winter!
Best regards!
February was looking like spring here until we got the snow back….at least 3 feet, and bitter cold of -30F. It is indeed still winter here Alexa.
a beautiful little poem which says stop! listen!
have a good Sunday Donna
much love…
Yes, isn’t nature wonderful to stop and listen to!
Oh, the intensity of the wind sometimes is stunning, isn’t it? We had an odd rainstorm last week,
but the wind accompanying it was truly intense. I found myself thankful though that this
time we escaped the snow. Nice pictures too! Always enjoy your Sunday morning treat!
Thank you so much Mary! I thought we might escape more snow too, but it is back and 3 feet in 3 days with bitter cold. This poem was echoing through my mind as I watched it swirl.
so very visual and you make it so enticing that i really wish to see snowfall at least once in my life…beautiful photos Donna…
Oh yes you must see it once and stand in it to feel it from every sense!
This is absolutely stunning Donna 😀
Have a lovely week ahead.
Lots of love,
Sanaa
Oh I am so glad you liked the post Sanaa!
Thanks for the reminder to stop, look, and, most of all, listen!
You are most welcome!
Snow is so gentle… and I miss it… a lot.. Here we have great ices to skate on though
I so agree about snow…..I thought we might have been done with snow but it is back and we have 3 feet that came in 3 days!
That special silence and quiet of a snowy day!
Exactly! So wonderful!
Beautifully written. Love the rhyme!
I am so glad you enjoyed it!
This is a beauty that I avoid. Don’t like the cold, though I know there’s nothing more beautiful than the sight of snow covering all.
(Thank you for your comment on my blog. I know you had a loss recently and understand. My mother-in-law died a couple of weeks ago. And I’m missing her.)
You are most welcome….we just had new fresh snow…it is quite lovely!
This is gorgeous! 🙂
And beautiful photographs, Donna 🙂
Thanks Purba!
I love your thoughts and photos of swirling snow and wind 🙂 A strange thing happened when opened up this post a gusting wind blew up outside and dashed raindrops against my window.
Oh Cherie that is funny! A funny thing happened here too. We got more gusty, swirling snow!
Living for many years without snow I have no desire to make friends with it again. I had quite enough in England many years ago during austerity times during and after WW2. However I do approve of it on Christmas cards!
I can completely understand Robin!
Donna, through your poem I can hear holiday songs and children laughing in the snow. Such beauty.
Oh that makes me so happy James!
Treasured moment and photos too! Thanks for sharing!
Oh I am so pleased you think so!
We are still digging out from the blizzard of this past week. And yes, the snow creates a different world, cleaner and softer,
Elizabeth
We escaped the blizzard, but lake effect snow got us with 3 feet and counting!
Sometimes I do hear the sound of the wind whipping around
but, the snow falls silently as it hits the ground…
We are due for some snow this week…
Snowed here too….3 feet!
The repetitive rhyme scheme adds to the feeling of ‘hearing the sound’ of the wind and the snowflakes.
Thanks…that is what I intended….I am so glad you felt the effect!
So pretty. Beautifully woven words.
Thanks Wendy!
ah this makes me long for snow! the last line is a real clincher – so succinctly describes how snow finds it way everywhere as though the world was hidden away before being contoured in white
Not with a frown!
Hank
wonderful! 🙂
Donna,
I love that sound of silently falling snow..It’s truly magical and certainly provides much inspiration for poets. The silence and the white, white surroundings, for a brief time..
Eileen
I couldn’t agree more…magical!
Nice sustained rhyme! No, I am thankful not to be hearing that. (Smile.)
Thanks so much Rosemary….I did enjoy writing this one as I watched the snow!
I read and I listened and I heard. Thanks!
And thank you for stopping by! 🙂
Haven’t experienced snow yet. But this one is a beauty!
Oh it is worth experiencing!
