Snowflakes

by Jessica   Mar 16, 2006


Soft and white
Small and furry
Sparkly and star-like
Bright and elegant
They swirl around the empty sky
With all the grace of a ballerina
Twirling, falling, and flying
In the eternal emptiness
And then they reach
The end of their descent
And hit the ground
With a light thump
And as they fall
They build up higher,
And become more amazing,
Placing one of the most
Beautiful memories
In your mind forever
The glowing white snow
So perfect
You can't even lay a finger on it
For fear of destroying the
Beauty
And then you see
The last one fall
And you know
You shall never see
Anything so beautiful again

    I really like poems about nature and this one is no exception. I find that the Nature section of Poems and Quotes is where some of the best poems are found. I like writing Love poems and find that I incorporate many nature themes into them. There are a lot of poems in the Love section but there are only a few that really shine where in the nature section I find the opposite – most of them are very good. I enjoyed your poem and hope to read more from you in the future. If you like trees you can read a poem I wrote called – The memory of my shadow. The poem Searching also has a nature theme - I wrote this way too long ago when I was a kid and have thought many times to rewrite it as an adult. But somethings are better left the way they are no matter how badly you wish to change them.

    I liked the first half better than the second. The first was devoted to poetic description, which was great. The second was devoted to telling the reader what they were supposed to think about the images.
    "And you know
    You shall never see
    Anything so beautiful again"
    Your use of the 2nd person is too demanding for this poem, in my opinion. I'd switch to the 1st or 3rd.

    Really nice imagery. I love winter, only because of the snow fall. I detest the cold.
