Singing to Snow

Fall again upon my waiting tongue
Abruptly change songs autumn sung
You come too soon, too soon to sleep
The snuggled warmth of hearth to keep
Evolutionary white and boundless drifts that overtake
The seeming of an empty landscape lay awake
Float again upon my garden bright
Drench with luminary stars of ice chips by their rite
For I am out of meter, empty of the summer sun
Expressive of the grace encircling and so hard won
And I will dance delight to see again the soft of white
For this I know, again the snow will fall
And I will greet with face and feet, in wonder still and all

Fine lines, Kathy.
For me, the taste of the first snow was always a thrill!

Personally don't see anything wrong with your 'meter' but then I even fail at getting it right with the parking 'meter'...but I loved it...(your meter that is)
