John Anderson Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

“There must be a cause why the snowflake always has six corners - the cause lies in the material itself"...... “Nothing is more delightful than to understand something previously unknown.” - though endless inquiry into nature’s hidden laws, beyond the thought that we know it all. after Johannes Kepler’s The Six-Cornered Snowflake.

Listen to poem:

The Six-Cornered Snowflake

all snowflakes have a six-corner form,
a law that winter's secrets still perform.
then chemistry and physics opened us up to so much more—
how bonds and angles build the crystal score
Yet still, in this knowing, we must always see
a sixth sense, free to unfold more mystery.
in six senses on a six-sided die,
rolling chance - 6 pips to let fly.
