Once In a Great While

once 
in a great while
snow falls
straight down -- 
no icy slants
no whirling dance --
past Autumn's
bewildered
leaves

We had this about a week ago - just a flurry.

Great choice of words but of course leaves are bewildered, hanging on "by a thread" . . . ..

You paint a clear picture with this Imagism poem Gershon. So many form each part of creation can take. Bill

Thanks for the support on my attempt at Imaging, Bill. Here's to more leaves and less snow. :) gw
