John Posey Poet Rhyme

Twin Snowflakes

Twin snowflakes don’t exist.
That’s what some people say.
None is like another.
They’re just not made that way.

But when I think about it
And I watch them as they fall
I’m convinced the one who made them
Knows more about it all.

I feel that somewhere out there
Is a mate for everything.
So why should tiny crystals
Be so perplexing?

Should I become so famous
And prove these people wrong,
Would my reward be half as pleasing 
As if I wrote a song?

Kelly Deschler September 17, 2013 at 4:46 PM It is a little early to be reading poems about snow, but here in Wisconsin it feels cold enough to snow today! I loved this poem, Jake, it does make one wonder if their really is a match for everything. Very inspiring and thought provoking work!...You might enjoy one of my new poems, which is titled, "Frozen Raindrops".

Gary Wayne Hill July 5, 2013 at 3:18 PM Another enjoyable read and a thought provoking piece John Posey July 5, 2013 at 3:41 PM Gary, my friend....It's good to see you again. You are always a welcome sight...Jake

Timothy Hicks April 17, 2013 at 8:58 AM I think I detect a slight note of anger in this one, could be wrong though. Scientists a lot of times like to build themselves up by discovering something completely new, or thinking something is fact when it's not. I think the last verse sums it up nicely. There's much more joy in just living your life than trying so hard to know THAT much more than somebody else. Enjoyed this one immensely. John Posey April 17, 2013 at 9:56 AM Well said. No anger was meant, though it can well be taken that way. This was written after thinking about the odds of putting twelve chimps in a room with typewriters and having one come up with the pledge of allegiance. It was a fun thing. Goes to show you can never really know what inspires poetry.. Thanks for your comments...

Duke Beaufort March 31, 2013 at 8:13 PM John, this is very pleasing. There is definitely an unknown "section" of life. It is like a Pizza with a mysterious and wonderful topping we will never taste. I am sorry to be so crude--you are so much more elegant. It is nice to see.

Anne-Lise Andresen March 27, 2013 at 11:20 AM - A lovely poem John! - "like as two drops of water" is something called ..... are two water droplets like (?) -, I am glad that there is no 2 9680 0047 which is absolutely twin with me, then it would have been hard to find "me" - Have a beautiful Easter. - oxox / / Anne-Lise :) John Posey March 27, 2013 at 3:52 PM Thanks Anne, I'm glad you liked it.....

Carol Eastman March 24, 2013 at 2:33 PM With all the snow (during Global warming) I can imagine a few twin flakes... But I think we need a song today... Being cooped up with 9 inches of snow. Fed the birds on the step next to the window so they could have a little... The 2 cats have bonked their heads on the glass a few times... Poor little dumb cats. It's a window with glass... But do they understand? ... NOOO!... LOL... They'll survive... so will the birds. John Posey March 24, 2013 at 3:31 PM Hey, check the cats... they may have 6 toes and that means 'Hemingway" cats equals well read..... Love ya dearly ......... Jake
