Tumble to the frost

Now gathering underfoot

Like blood in the snow.

    Sounds like a line a villain would utter to the hero leaving the hero scratching his head. Love it

    🌨️I can't start without saying that I love your aesthetic on your page. All the reds bursting through the dark background. 🍁I am happy that you dug this one up and published it. 🌨️Very nice imagery. Tumbling to the frost. ❄️We saw it fall in an unforgiving way, in your first line. Then we could see it underneath our feet. 🍁And the strong vividness of the last line paints a picture that won't leave the mind. 'Blood' gave us the consequence of the fall, but it also adds such a contrast to the colour white of the snow. Outstanding, there was nothing not to love about this one 🤗❤️🖤

    You are adept at adding a hint of morbid menace to almost anything you create, Silver!

    Oooooh. This fucking rocks. I love that final line. And the title is perfect. Glad you shared it..so evocative, so unique and quite violent and sensual in the imagery. Just. Great. Can you guess I loved it? Lol
