Just wrote this for a ninth grade language class. yes, the english language (aint I lucky)! It had to be "my life is like.." using a simile. Happy Reading!

My life is like a snowflake
First I’m pummeled from a cloud.

I’m thin and frail as I fall down endlessly.

The delicate beauty I hold
Surpasses that which you know.

I seem plain, I know, but take a look;
You see the colors and the silhouette?

Yea, my life is like a snowflake.
I keep falling as the wind twists my being.

The chill is what I love; its what I know.
If the sun comes I’ll dissolve,
Then I’ll be that speck of water;
The one that makes the flood;
  You gonna play or curse me?
  Splash me or wash me out?

Yea, cause my life is like a snowflake
The cadence in a storm
The essence of a beautiful day
  Yet, the solitude of peace.

- And so it was that time stood still -

I like this GG. Let me know how the teacher likes it, okay?

Oh, I'm one that curses the snow (not you, the real snow! because I live in a city that doesn't plow the streets even though they say they do on TV...geesh! That's okay, elections are next year!)
