Night Ballet

Ladies falling from the sky
like twirling silver buttterflies
in white lace tutus
swirling, spinning
in a an evening performance
of a winter dance...

Valerie, this is a most beautiful Personification. So perfect to describe snowflakes dancing downward in such gently, lovely motion. Happiest of holidays and much joy in the new year! Love, Shar
