The world after snow
is like a table freshly laid
with spotless linen and clean forks.
But crumbs and crumpled napkins
testify to diners' pleasure
and make glad the cooks.
Stepping out your door in the morning,
enjoy that first crunch-- like the crust
on crème brulee. Rumple the cloth.

I enjoyed your response to this prompt. Clean linen is a good descriptor of unsullied snow. Nice.

"The world after snow"
is a magical place.
Such peace, such stillness.
And yet I like your advice -
after all it's inevitable:
"rumple the cloth".
Good write.
I was totally transported by your world after snow. Now I want to go outside and crunch on crème brulee.
A fresh crisp take on the prompt, really liked it.
Loving your metaphor!
Delightful take on this prompt!
Beautiful interpretation...
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
Vivid and vibrant - this creates an image that glows and glows.
You got me with the creme brulee...
Love the imagery. Wonderful.
It is as deliciously crunchy as crème brulee!
Wonderful comparison.
