When the Snow Melts

When the snow is melting
There are shapes on the snow
They are all not the same
Some shapes look like footprints
Others the shape or paws prints
these different shapes are seen


Where fresh snow had spread
No one ever walks this path
the snow is very very deep
So just out of no where shapes
the prints appeared from no where
Upon the freshly deep snow

Hello Komal, I am thinking you live in a warm climate. I live in Canada. We have 4 seasons. Summer, spring, Autumn, and winter. We are in our Spring season. Winter is the col season. With lots of snow and coldness. Hugs.

Sometimes it is rather amazing how those shapes appeared on the newly fallen snow. Here's to less winter, more spring! Take good care, Darlene. :) gw

Nice descriptive poem! Yes, ice crystals melt creating strange patterns, like the clouds create artistic patterns! All the best to you.

Hello Kirsh, thank you. The patterns are so strange, you wonder how they got there in the first place in the deepest snow. Enjoy your day my friend.

I see those shapes often and figure it could be a very small, light animal that made them. Spring is a very nice time of year. All sorts of things appear as the snow melts. Loved this Darlene. God Bless, JB
