O seasonal celestial skies upon this orb, has graced
A crystal crochet covering of pure white winter lace
This frosted silent shroud settles on limbs exposed and bare
And forms a glittering glaze to showcase natures earthenware
Standing in snowy stillness mortal eyes in awe, survey
Such ornate frozen forestry on delicate display

You've captured a frozen moment in time with delicate observation and caring words. The crystalline palace that is so alluring during the winter is well graced with your poem.
Beautimus! Your poem is like a slice of crystal or a discrete ornate snowflake.
Enjoyed the poem and the beautiful photos.
Absolutely beautiful poem and photos.

Some nice imagery clearly evoking the scene. I really like this.
"nature's earthenware" is lovely.
love your choice of objects to feel, and so well you did!
You've captured that exquisite ice storm perfectly. Though those storms do great damage here in Texas and cost me several trees, my heart always races to see the world turn to etchings of frost, lace, and crochet on trees. Well done.
Beautiful.
Mark used the descriptive word 'beautimus' .. I love that word and your poem.
A crystal crochet. Just beautiful.
