The Life of a Snowflake

Twisting, falling
swirling, dancing
on my tiny ballerina toes
brothers and sisters float around me
we are the snow

Dancing to the music
of the twining wind
the sweet notes from the the drips
of the singing icicles
and the quiet clicking sound
made by the landing of my kin

A thin green figure looms toward me
and I chasse away from the tree
free again to swirl and twirl
My six limbs bending gracefully

Below me is a mass
of my white, cold brethren
they wave and cheer in greeting
my joy of landing is fleeting

I land, cushioned, by my family
and nestle in
knowing that my happiness
wears thin
Just like the layer
of those I love

Now this is my favorite of your work. I love the way the snowflakes are personified, and your adjectives are killer. This is great; your should feel proud of yourself, you are a poet with talent.
