Snow Crackle

Winter - Alaska

By Andrea Corwin Published 2 years ago 1 min read
Created with Leonardo.Ai

A full moon shines on the crusty snow.

My footsteps crunch and crackle, but are

drowned out by Huskies howling.

This poem recollects my past years in Alaska, where hoar frost might cover the trees, and everyone had a dog, usually outside in a kennel or the yard, barking or howling, perhaps chained to a doghouse and sitting on top of it.

    So atmospherical, Andi, gives a good idea of the feelings and spirit of the snow. I'm not a big fan of cold weather and snow but I can certainly appreciate a good verse about it.

  • Excellent, Andrea! It's amazing how a good writer can pack so much emotion and experience into just a few lines of verse. You have succeeded here.
