Notes About The Poem

A Southern Snow

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

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!"
