A Spoonful of Snow

Dash of snow flutters to the ground And lands O gently all around; White as velvet quilt of feather To drift upon Yule's iced heather: Bare now after Queen Winter's hand Covering lanes from bright hues grand; Which transforms the pines with finesse And silver stars of gracefulness. Yet night gleams through crystals so bold Adorning roofs.... bright joys enfold; O pearled flakes that warm and spill Through tuneful romps of love's goodwill... How children hail the dance of snow On an EVE blessing life, aglow! Best Rhyming Poem --Oct-Dec 2017 For John Hamilton's Contest 1/2/2018 Originally Written :12/9/2017 Rhyme Form- Couplet

You have given ' snow' an added dimension with its significance to a winter babe christened this season. A poetic treasure that uplifts through its magnificent lines!

Nette, you make your poem so romantic. Oh, we had snow last night to wake too in the south side of Houston Texas, a white powdery , very cold blanket of snow. Children throw snowballs at each other waiting for the school bus. :) Hugs Eve ~`*
