A Snowflake

I gazed upon the crystal only hard before the thaw and as you warmed to melt your gem-like qualities seemed of mine to adore unlike the slush of snow unlike the muddies of rain unlike a city's drainage a heart needs only another willing to sustain for love is greater immortal than the many painted temples with flawless sculpted gods far greater than most paradise imagined above the ringing stars and their singing elucidating bards love is more the remnant sea almighty rivers and streams real lords of man and lands within their never-ending travails carrying life's speckles of gold as well as life's sentient rearranging sands

Now I get it. You gave me a needed laugh. I did not read your first comment. So I kept looking at my poem, trying to find the error in the last four words. Spell check. Google search. Finally called my wife, and she was elucidating. Thank you, Elizabeth. I often do it myself, especially in my comments. I find errors in books, after, who knows how many proofreaders. It's funny with my comment. Please leave it. Thank you for taking precious time to read the works of others.

Thank you, Pangie; this was a lot of fun to write. Not using punctuation is a challenge for me. Blessings my friend. I had to get away from the book for a bit, missing poetry. But I may be gone again for awhile.
