Notes About The Poem

Jasmine Or Flakes Poetry Contest, Sponsor - Ink Empress. Date written: 01/24/2025

Ivory Flakes

not quite 
White Christmas,
but that'll do.
'tis the next best thing!

celestial confetti 
comes tumbling down 
at noon time 
generously,
incessantly;

palpable excitement 
hangs like hope in the firmament 
one of several 
children at play 
extracts her tongue 
waiting;
some did land...

and she squeals with joy!
ah, ivory flakes...
down they come;
tiny alabaster feathers
fluttering d
                 o
                 w
                 n             
like maple leaves in Autumn;
darting diagonally,
hullahooping 
in the December wind.
