Snow

Soft, flaky white crystals

drifting gently to the ground,

gathering in great mounds,

inviting children to play

On a white mountaintop,

a mellow wind blowing,

a family stands gathered

gazing at the sparkling stars

Author's Note

Just a little poem to get the poetic gears churning.

It’s February here in Ontario and there’s not a flake of snow on the ground and the norm is to have a couple feet of it. As much as I enjoy the beauty of a snowflake, I will not shed any tears if ‘none’ show up again this season :)

I live in central Minnesota, and we haven't had much snow this season, but a few days ago we got about a foot of it. I enjoy winter while it's here, but I wouldn't mind if spring showed up. Thank you for reading.

On the rare occasion when you find the snow meandering down in super sized flakes with each one a picture and the wind non existent. I can actually smile and enjoy the outdoors, you know, build a snowman etc. But the minute i go back inside i prefer it just melt away so i can enjoy the memory :)

Serene imagery never fails to captivates. The inclusion of the family tells me where your values are at and the vivacious way you talk about the snow demonstrates how much you appreciate it. Lovely poem, well done. :)
