Snowflakes

Snowflakes
by Sue K Green

Pretty are the snowflakes
As I watch them fall
Covering up the landscape
Pretty scene for all

I like to watch the snowflakes
They put on quite a show
As they flit and scatter
Everywhere they go

So many are the snowflakes
Falling down on me
I wouldn’t now start counting
A daunting task that be

Cold are the snowflakes
As too is the air
Hat, coat, and gloves now
A must for me to wear

White now are the snowflakes
Covering the ground
Careful not to slip now
Ice too is all around.

Streetlights on the snowflakes
Make for a pleasing glow
I watch now out my window
At still falling snow.

Rauwolfia Ra Date: 2/1/2014 12:21:00 AM I envy you, I've never seen snow, but I can picture it when I read your poem. p.s. just a thought, the third tranza, last line, might make it: what a daunting task that'd be.

I appreciate your comments and I will consider your suggestion.

Isaiah Zerbst Date: 1/28/2014 2:05:00 PM Yes, this would be a quatrain poem. A very nice one, too. Always a different angle, a different perspective, a different sight. Magical and enchanting. Login to Reply

This week the temps are extremely low ( this morning 6 feeling like -14) so I've taken to just writing about the new fallen snow. Sue K Green Date: 1/22/2014 2:08:00 PM I am always amazed at the splendor of it all. Thanks for commenting.

Rex Mccoy Date: 1/22/2014 11:17:00 AM I like to watch the snow falling. Especially when the flakes are large and fluffy. Out for a stroll, when warmly bundled, stopping for a coffee with a friend... These special moments make the season seem awesome. :) Enjoyed Login to Reply
