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

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.
