Diversity of Flakes

a gentle sprinkling
they look tasty
should i catch one on my tongue?

i catch myself
thinking hard now
is it winter

Is it icy and cold?
Is there snow on the ground
Or is it coming from a cardboard box?

Am I outside
or am I in the laundry room?
it makes a big difference

Oh, yes it does. Those laundry flakes do not chill to the bone! It does make a big difference, and I hope you didn't try them on your tongue.

I do not even use detergent; my husband does and he uses liquid. This was for a contest.
