Snow Crash

Snow falls silently through the night, And glistens on the face of dawn Like diamonds in the dew, Beneath the frosty fleece, A flower peeks out with a sigh Wondering why it snowed in spring! 5-26-2020 HEXASTICH IT Poetry Contest Sponsor: Nette Onclaud

Snow in Spring. : ) Yes, it has happen before. The flowers don't know. Still, they stay as strong as they can. "Glistens on the face of dawn, like diamonds in the dew" Such a beautiful thought. : ) Brandy
