Silent, a blanket is spread
But not meant for warmth
Dwarfing the size of my bed
Yet clean and so soft
Fragile, the blanket is drawn
But just for one day
Though most of my town put it on
They will throw it away
Lovely, the blanket is sewn
But so easily torn
It lays on your shoulders and head
But it cannot be worn
Silent, a blanket is spread
But is not meant for heat
I leave it outside–unless
It comes in on my feet

Hehe this is cute! It made me smile
Thank you!
I’ve always enjoyed trying to find the “other” meaning in your poetry. 😉
😉 Well, I can’t let things be TOO obvious! Thank you Muse!
I think I can usually decode your mysteries. 😉
a beautiful description of snow. i love it!
Thank you Jenny!
Ah. To see the snow. But alas, I have a green winter every year.
I did for quite a while, but I don’t stay still too long, so now I am near snow 🙂
Blanketed, with silence and brilliant whiteness, as only this substance can… A lovely riddle VW, ’tis such a shame it causes so much havoc before it melts and departs… xPenx
😀 thanks pen! Always fun to have your words in my comments 🙂
Beautiful, a blanket of fog, a blanket of peace, a blanket love , a blanket silence! I love the words very evocative.
Thank you Willow! Weather is always inspiring 🙂

lovely, cryptic, smooth… I like this poem although I’ve never seen snow 🙂 I still dream of a white Christmas and somehow I feel it drawing nigh hehe
Thank you, BlueGem. I only
Recently moved from a more tropical climate to a place with snow, so I understand the absence. My body is better built for warmth, but I really do think snow is so beautiful. It seems like a little miracle from the sky. Perhaps one day you will experience it first hand 🙂
I hope to have the experience someday soon. So far my travel to the snowy winter lands have only been in the summer 🙂
Perhaps someday my friend. I would share my snow with you if I could
😀
I like this one Vampire Weather,
you always offer such unique poems 🙂

Very kind of you, my friend
I’ve got to say, I was riddled by the riddle – but I see (from Jenny) that it’s snow. Oh, I’m too dumb with these things!!
You’re so clever though. Just fantastic 🙂
Thank you for discovering this older piece. I am glad it was not too terribly obvious 🙂
