In the dark of night, moon hidden from sight Large snowflakes in flight and transcending white Come morning's twilight, ice crystals ignite They sparkle so bright as sun rays excite The song birds unite, and softly invite On the heart it writes , a poet's delight January 6 2017 Monorhyme- 6 lines 10 syllables per line by Daniel Turner

Daniel, soft and bright as that southern snow - mighty glad here that your words will continue on, unlike that snow.

Deal, Danny. : ) And thanks for not calling me 'Douglas,' because that brings back childhood memories of when the long form is used in anger, i.e. "Douglas, get your butt in this house right now!"
