Sandra Haight Poet Quatern

Notes About The Poem

The Snow Fell Down

The snow fell down- like feathers, flew,
     and clung to everything that grew.
Each branch and twig was fluffed with white-
     highlighted 'neath the moon's soft light.

Serene this vision, I saw through.
     The snow fell down- like feathers, flew.
A white-lace haze of snowflakes made
     an opaque patterned window shade.

And through that shade, I saw a deer
     beneath the glow of moon so clear.
The snow fell down- like feathers, flew-
     but falling faster blocked my view.

Now I, behind my window, warm
     and safe from this cold winter storm,
prayed hard the deer find comfort too.
     The snow fell down- like feathers, flew.
