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.

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.

If one could put aside all the hazards that comes along with snow, they would see only the magic and beauty seen as it floats down covering up the past and making for us a new landscape. I appreciate your comments and I will consider your suggestion.

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.

The urge is so strong to grab my camera and run out to take pictures. 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.

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

I believe this is quatrain form. Form arrow not working on website.
