Descriptive essay A calm wintry night looks like mother nature making a white, cold, fluffy, blanket with every exhale of snowflake-filled breath. It looks more peaceful, more connected, more insulated when snow makes canopies out of trees, rolling hills out of rows of cars, sledding trails out of deck stairs, sugar dipped cones out of pine trees, and marshmallow tops on everything. The world looks clean and bright on a calm wintry night.
Warm breath rises in visible puffs to join the darkened clouded night sky. There is a freezing chill in the air that brings crispness to the leaves. A calm winter night brings the warm feeling associated with the holidays. Sipping that steaming cup of hot cocoa, sitting by the fireplace, and being with the people that mean the most to you. Being reminded of the holiday feelings on a calm winter night will truly bring joy to anyone. …show more content…
Footprints sound crunchy but there are no echoes on a calm wintry night. The snow absorbs all sound and the animals are hiding and hibernating, keeping warm in their nests and sleeping peacefully. People are not rushing on a calm wintry night. The weather has provided an excuse to stay near home, to appreciate the beauty of nature, to build a large crackling fire glowing in oranges and yellows. Throw a pinecone in the fire and blues and greens are added to the flames. Hissing and crackling when snow flakes hit the fire. The fire burns steadily, keeping everyone cozy and warm on a cold wintry

    Epiphany-Personal Narrative

    It was an oddly quiet Sunday morning in the middle of December. Clear skies, forests and beautiful snow-capped mountains dominated the views from my front porch. The temperature was mild, one of those days you could wear a thin sweater and be a little chilly. There were no birds chirping or butterflies fluttering, as they had all left to the south to find a more suitable environment for them or died. I had missed this type of day when you could relax in the peacefulness of the quiet morning…

    On Frost at Midnight

    Coleridge initiates with the phrase “The frost performs its secret ministry, unhelped by any wind” (line 1). The frost makes Coleridge realise how beautiful nature is and he speculates that the frost is a secret ministry, because it appears from nowhere in the night, sent by God to make human kind appreciate the beauty of nature. His inmates are sleeping and he is enjoying the peace and quiet with his son. The only subtle sound is a smouldering fire.…

    9/11 Short Stories

    It’s being outside past midnight on a winter night. It’s a secret - it’s something we’re not supposed to see. The sky is purple but it’s also white. And why is it so bright out? The streetlamps mix the colors into a dynamic palate, with a hint of bronze. And the snowflakes the snowflakes the snowflakes. They’re frozen. Yes they are literally frozen water but that’s not what I mean. It’s chaos but if you look closer it’s not chaos. Look up. Look closer - they’re suspended in thin air, but every time you exhale they start falling again. It’s hushed. It’s a secret. You’re not supposed to look. You’re supposed to wake up the next morning and look outside while you’re making coffee and think, “Huh. Maybe they’ll cancel classes today”.…

    Ice Cold Water Research Paper

    Experiencing grief is like jumping into freezing, ice cold water. Grieving is a strong, overwhelming feeling that is completely resistless; it is a universal state and a powerful personal experience. In the same way, jumping into ice cold water is overpowering as the iciness of the water hits hard. Whether it is caused by the death of a loved one, the ending of a serious relationship, or even a job loss, grief causes a never-ending, emotional pain to an individual that cannot be controlled. The everlasting pain is also experienced when jumping into freezing water. The harsh and severe impact of the freezing water sends disturbing thrills to one's body. Once immersed and engulfed in the icy cold water, it feels as if you are trapped and helpless;…

    Descriptive Essay: You Walk Your Black Lab Down The Street

    You feel the cool air warm up around yourself. There is a pleasantness that can only be found in these warm winter days. Birds squawk overhead. In a pack they fly in v’s. You wanted to fly, but the dream fled after you jumped off the deck. Birds gain height, you gained a broken arm. The birds slow and descend onto the small patch of grass to your left. Wildlife is all around you, but the adults don’t seem to notice. Not far ahead, a squirrel shoves acorns into his mouth, climbing up a tree he deposits his cache into a hole. He runs down the tree to start the process again. Nature is a cycle, a loop that won’t…

    Personal Narrative Essay: The Joy Of Christmas

    For many people. the months December through February create a vision of happiness and holiday cheer. The thought of all the warm Christmas cookies you and your mom would make, or the pine sweet smell of your just brought home tree, you, already prepared with your basket of ornaments, dusty from being in your basement all year long. The hope of a new year, of new beginnings, of fresh snow, and coming inside from the cold to sit by the burning fire with your favorite book. Thinking of these months can stir up a great deal of memories, and for many, these memories are wonderful. For myself, they always have been. December was a symbol of happiness for me. My family would travel to come to St. Louis, we would routinely follow Christmas traditions from years before, and love was widely spread. However, last December morphed this tremendous enjoyment I got out of these winter months.…

    Explication of "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening."

    Explication of "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening."

    The denotative meaning this poem is a man with his horse and carriage stopping by woods on a snowy night. Just the title of this poem gives the reader a sense of calmness that comes with the image of a snowy evening in the woods. Frost could have used a different wording for his title of this poem, such as "Stopping the Carriage in a Forest During a Snowstorm on a Dark Night," but he chose the words snowy evening and woods for his title instead. I think that snowy is possibly the softest derivative for snow in the English language, it has no hash syllables. Evening is another word that is very soft and peaceful sounding, especially when combined with snowy.…

    Remembering an Event

    After a quick breakfast and strong coffee, we were all ready for the next adventure together. The day was frosty – 18 degrees of Fahrenheit. My dad had always told me the when you hear the snow crunching underfoot, the temperature is 18 degrees, and I never knew how he knew that, but he was right. The air was so brisk and fresh, and the smell was reminiscent of fresh hay. I do not know why, but all alpine villages have the same smell, and thanks to the nice odor, I can always recognize where I am.…
