Snow: A Poem
We just had our first snowfall of the season, so here’s a poem about snow I wrote years ago, revised and partially edited. It still needs some work… but still has potential too.
Snow
Snow is flakes of nature packed full of contradictions landing wherever it will humbly unaware of the untamable weather of its own propriety A provisional blanket offering no safety or warmth A flurry of chaos intensifying belated calm A cacophony of panic resting in eventual peace A thick opaque coat sparkling with a thin sheen A din of lonely silence encouraging laughter and play A transparent storm holding secrets and fates A hostile avalanche drifting into sweet crystals A powdery ephemeral dust coating eternal memories Snow is flakes of nature packed full of contradictions wreaking havoc as it will present one day then melting away the next with no apologies
I’ll likely revise and edit this drafted poem (again) at some point in the future, but this is where I’m leaving it for now.
If you wrote a poem about snow, what would it include?
