           I'm one of a trillion snowflakes, falling towards the earth 
            Unique in every perspective, arbitrarily shaped at birth 
           An individual on the wind, blowing sideways up and down 
            We bond gently as a family, to adopt a glistening gown

Karen Jones October 31, 2021 at 1:19 PM Cool drawing and even cooler poem! Congrats! David Kavanagh October 31, 2021 at 1:59 PM Amazing the simple graphics paint a better picture, than any photo, thank you Karen for stopping by, cheers David

Krish Radhakrishna October 27, 2021 at 1:48 PM unity in diversity! beautiful done! congrats on your win! David, nature is a great example of such diversity but people are the most difficult to merge and come together! David Kavanagh October 27, 2021 at 2:28 PM Ain't that the truth Krish, I probably over-romanticised the concept of a big happy snowflake family, inevitably avalanches will happen, and all hell breaks loose, it's the nature of universe, cheers David

Christuraj Alex October 27, 2021 at 11:28 AM Very beautiful. Symbolic drawing too. Congratulations! David Kavanagh October 27, 2021 at 2:10 PM Thank you Alex, it's still a mystery how the graphics idea came about, simple yet they do somehow enhance the poem cheers David

Ann Peck October 27, 2021 at 9:04 AM Oh, that's beautiful! I've thought of snowflakes - each one so different, yet they come together to build a snowman! There's a lesson there...Congratulations! David Kavanagh October 27, 2021 at 9:36 AM Heya Anne, thank you so much for stopping by, everyone of us are unique, yet we are capable of bonding together and creating a family, that was definitely part of my message, cheers David

James Peranteau October 19, 2021 at 5:32 AM amazed? not even the grain of sand shares exactness ;] Cows appear to posses exact, yet don't be deceived, there are sees about them...liked this reminder dear poet? Once i found and examined three snow flakes which were exact triplicate...well, one was a dirty blond;)Have a great writing day sir...much love, james David Kavanagh October 19, 2021 at 5:42 AM Thank you James, nature truly is amazing, arbitrarily designing each one different, though the human snowflakes are designed by the parents me thinks, great comments cheers David Reply

Jenna Logan October 18, 2021 at 11:09 AM One among many, each different and yet alike. Food for thought for humans to ponder. Makes ya go, hmmmm. David Kavanagh October 18, 2021 at 12:29 PM Heya Jenna, hmmmm is good, if I can evoke one with my poem I'm a happy guy, your so right analogies for us mere mortals to ponder, sand grains, snowflakes, and stars in the cosmos, cheers David

Jennifer Proxenos October 18, 2021 at 10:42 AM This write evokes the magic and splendorous uniquness of a single snowflake which ultimately becomes united with trillions of other snowflakes and forms a skiing slope for example in Switzerland, or can represent a family who comes together at Christmas time or Thanksgiving to enjoy the unity and spirituality of such a gathering. Brilliant write. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. David Kavanagh October 18, 2021 at 12:23 PM An uplifting comment Jennifer, I was attempting to analogise the snowflake to human perception, becoming aware of life and bonding with one's family, sometimes fleeting, sometimes permanent, so delighted you enjoyed this one, cheers David

Edward Ebbs October 18, 2021 at 9:45 AM Aww…so is life in away, our hope would be peace and love bonding together as a family.
