Winter's Snow

Poem about snow

 

Softly they float, each different and unique

Riding along on invisible wings of air

So small, that by themselves they are mere flakes

Racing toward earth to meet with the rest

 

Alone they melt on your face and hair

Soft and cold they swirl in the wind

Slowly they fall and join together

Making their long descent to the ground

 

Together they band, bringing cities to their knees

Closing roads and collapsing roofs

Their innocence and uniqueness is lost

What happened to them as they floated to earth

This is really amazing. The diction, style, imagery, everything. I especially like the line: "Together they band, bringing cities to their knee". The last stanza ends this poem very well. Awesome job.

Hi - this is simply beautiful! haha..... I come from a place where snow has to be up to there before we even notice! You are so right in your capture of the snow's movement, personality and gee, what happens when too much of them just band together..... I like the feel of this.... good job!
