John Lawless Poet Rhyme

Snowfall

SNOWFALL


The sweet tasting chill of winter’s wishful dreams

glaze in silence distant rippling streams

waken to gray crystal glow

first act - windblown show

descending

SNOW

blanketing

beneath downy throw

memories of what we know

entombed in ivory’s dark extremes

for life is fleeting and death not all it seems

Andrea Dietrich February 23, 2015 at 12:45 AM hahaha, your name for my form is so funny. OK, here is the thing, john. I was about to put you in my top three and then i noticed a BIG thing. your last line was not the same as the first line. DANG. you were so close but the hourglass from hell got you!!! Congrats. It's a great poem, nonetheless. John Lawless February 23, 2015 at 5:00 PM Well, Andrea, we all know about my problem with the rules. I thought I'd got this one right, however the muse often over rides the control panel. Thanks for a great contest and a hellish twist on an already testy form.
