Beauty Fell Upon Me

Beauty fell upon me as the snow upon the trees,
Then carried me to distant dream, of autumn's gentle breeze.

Written for the Rhyme Battle 6 Contest (Couplet)

Sam Toil Date: 4/21/2014 8:56:00 AM Hi Mel. You say a lot about beauty in these two simple, well-written lines. How it overwhelms us as it crawls through our awareness impacting our entire mind in a most pleasing way. It is so important to our lives, and yet it is undefinable. Except through allegory such as your wonderful poem here. Peace...Sam Login to Reply Mel Merrill Date: 4/21/2014 2:44:00 PM Thanks Sam--a family name, as I mentioned--my Uncle's and Grandfather's names. I very much appreciate the thoughtful and insightful comment. You're a great poet, so I am encouraged by your words. Thanks again, Mel
