Snowflake

A crystal lattice so Devine Slowly falling on earth supine Surely we now must redefine Our place in nature so sublime Such elegant beauty a shrine A crystal lattice so Devine Each delicate flake is a sign Slivers of heaven gods design Ephemeral glory is thine Fragile resplendence so benign A crystal lattice so Devine Fleeting splendour to death consign Complex simplicity combine Enchantment one cannot decline Nor Michelangelo refine A crystal lattice so Devine Dedicated to my friend Mary Jo who so loves the snow.

Your poem falls within the category of whimsical, fanciful and imaginative; armed with an energy of its own that propels it into our sphere of reality. Emile.
