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

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.

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!

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

I feel guilty of their death when they land on me. Thanks for leaving your thoughts, Rico.
