For the contest of Ink Empress

____________________________________________________________________-

Pearlescent specks were sprinkles in a sky that would have been dark but for the white of those ivory flakes I saw twirling so tranquilly down. Swirls of serenity - those pearls of the night filled me sweetly with delight before bed. When I woke, I looked out my window to see what night had brought. While I had been buried in dreams gone unremembered, dull barren land of December lay enfolded pristinely beneath a beautiful argent eiderdown quilt.

A perfect Etheree. I am still confused with the idea of ivory flakes, but your poem is brilliant.

Snowfall at night,a mesmerising magical experience bringing delight and comfort before sleep and a scene of unexpected beauty while the poet sleeping-superb !
