Softly, They Descend

Gently, they swirl in Winter's frigid wind No two identical, each crystal pristine Tumbling from gray skies, softly descending I frolic among them, beguiled as a child January 14, 2022 Bite Size Poem #32 Contest Sponsored by Line Gauthier

There is just something magical about falling snow. I am not a big fan of winter but I do enjoy watching the snow fall. Nicely written, Jenna. Hope all is well with you. John

Hi John. Whether watching or feeling the snowflakes fall upon my face, I've always been enthralled with snowfall. Thanks for your insight. I'm quite well, and hope you are, too.

They do bring out the "child' in us. Very nicely written and captures well the joy of walking in a falling snow....

Wonderfully penned, I wonder how many snow flakes are in my yard? It’s mind boggling when you think about it. So many different flakes. Beautiful!

It's quite amazing that each one is unique, isn't it. Thanks a lot, Mark.

Simply lovely, Jenna. You paint a wonderful picture of snow falling, swirling "in Winter's frigid wind." A winner, to be sure.
