Snowflakes

Precipitation crystalline
Water ice, snow defined
From the clouds
It drifts slowly down
To whiten natures 
Awesome grounds
 
Light coverings
Drifts so high
Natures magic
From her heavenly skies
 
No two flakes, are at all the same
An amazing claim in natures vein
Even twins have a difference in them
But snowflakes are the pure ice gem
 
Supercooled droplets 
Rain down on us
Glee-full children stop their fuss
Mummy, daddy let us play
Remember you too were kids, they say
 
Picture postcard
Christmas card wish
The delight of a snowfall
One of natures bliss

Very good descrition of the snow and fun with family. We don't have very much snow here but when we do it is a beautiful sight but since we are not prepared it brings many problems. Excellent write. Sara

Snow is so "magical," James! You capture its beauty well in this awesome poem. We don't get snow where I live, but I bet you see a lot of it in the Highlands. Just imagining the beauty of your mountains covered with snow fills me with serenity. Excellent write! Love, Carolyn
