Blanket of silence, snow layers on surface, otherwise Nature's cloak, snow in winter makes our living chaotic; well said, well done. Write to inspire, change -- DR ALCREATOR

I enjoyed the poem. Even with restrictions you found a way to make it sound like a poem should sound. A little melodic which I liked. Well written!

I enjoyed these words because snow haunts everything and stops us in our tracks and we have no choice but to slow down as nature teaches us that there are bigger things in this world than ourselves, a poignant write, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

You've written a very fine poem on winter
and excellent entry for the contest
with exact syllables and the nice addition
of the alliteration of "c" and "s"
Well done
Good luck in the voting.
Robert

Good use of synonyms CLOAK and SHROUD to set the mood and show what snow can do.
The S-alliteration in line 2 enhances that mood of silence.
Finally, the contrast between Winter's world and the "chaotic" world is very distinct.
