Notes About The Poem

Written 14th January 2025

Jasmine or Flakes Poetry Contest - Sponsored by: Ink Empress - Prompt chosen - Flakes 

 

 

Ivory Flakes

When sunlight or moonbeams come peeping through
Snowflakes will acquire an ivory hue
Twisting and twirling, confetti on show
Gracing landscape with an ivory glow.

Pirouetting by day or ‘neath moonlight
When ivory flakes dance, it’s a grand sight
Adding glamour to the night or the day
When performing a celestial display.

Softly falling to earth these precious gems 
Visions from heavenly angelic friends
Snowflakes adorn tree branches, bare of leaves
Covered in ivory glistening sleeves.

Children wake blissful when snow covers ground
Eager to play with friends gathering round
Building snowmen, having a snowball fight
For them it's having the time of their life.

Snowflakes create a wondrous winter scene 
Beautifying earth on ivory screen
A joy to behold, to all folk worldwide 
Elation the mystic maker provides.

John Read Date: 1/15/2025 7:41:00 AM Hi sister Beryl, another wonderful poem you've written, still no snow in London, did you have snow where you are. xx Login to Reply Beryl Edmonds Date: 1/15/2025 7:51:00 AM Hi brother John, thank you. We’ve not had snow here in the West Mids, had some a few weeks ago, but it soon disappeared. It’s been icy cold though, can’t wait for Spring and all that it brings, especially the dancing daffodils. xx
