Snow

Trembling in the air, a white star does fall. 
The soft precipitation has paid us a visit. 
Quiet skies are unheard.
This beauty does not flaunt attention.
It simply falls, confident, and unmentioned.
As soon as observed, it draws people near.
A quiet, content day is soon to appear.

Very soothing, like the snowfall you depict. Help me understand how/where this is alliteration, I always thought it was words together with repetitive/similar consonants, but maybe there are different forms.

I'd consider it free verse but you have some rhyming lines as well - so it's a poetic mutt of sorts :)

I'm still learning too, and I'm sixteen times three :) Alliteration, as I recall it, is like "Tiffany took two tablespoons of tabasco..." where you have each word in a sentence or short phrase starting with the same letter/consonant, or same sounding letters (could be "Sally cites silly circles around the city")
