Flurries of dancing butterflies
Ignite the sky with open flames
As midnight hides behind the stars
Our souls we keep, our hearts we tame.

+ + +

Snow falls gently, swiftly down
Upon a silent, sleeping town
Shimmering lace upon her gown
And silver gold upon her crown.

+ + +

One solitary voice sings soft upon the wind
Softly, it rides on the magic within.
Surrounded by echos that forever were lost
A passion regained, whatever the cost.

+ + +

Golden slumbers drifting
Like falling leaves of laughter
Upon the crimson shifting
Shower down on me...


+ + + + +
Something a little different. 4 different poems highlighting different styles, as well as forms (one of them, I made up because, you know...kinda needed that extra boost of creativity). I actually wrote these according to the many definitions of flurries...

Poem 1: A sudden burst or commotion
Poem 2: A brief, light snowfall
Poem 3: A sudden gust of wind
Poem 4: A stirring mass, as of leaves or dust; a shower.

Hope you enjoy it! ^__^

You know, even though these were four different poems, they all went together quite well. I don't know what I'm saying, but good job!!

WoO! I liked this tons Leah. I especially like how each one corresponds with a definition of Flurry.

Hey, I'm sorry, but this one kinda went over my head(note:I'm typing this at 1:30 am so don't do me no favors)
But from what I could get from it was good and solid.

Very cool, Leah. This just shows how talented you are to write about four different scenarios in four different formats. It's creativity to the max! The first one is my favourite. A lot of truth in it. That's more than likely why.  

Keep writing!!
