Snowflakes White stars from heaven float down from on high Spun by a mystical cloud in the sky Woven by winds that make white crystal lace In intricate patterns that melt on your face They silently fall in the cold of the night And weave me a coverlet, icy and white They cling to each limb in the woodland below And make me a palace of glittering snow Elizabeth Santos |

Elizabeth... I'm one of those poor Australian souls who are nowhere near the snow! When I was young we did, and I'll always remember how wonderful the snow was. This poem is just like how I remember it. Bec "Poetry and Hums aren't things which you get, they're things which get you. And all you can do is to go where they can find you." |

Smooth as silk and as beautiful as a snowflake itself. |

Elizabeth Santos, Oh, I loved this! A snow lover I am But here it's hit or miss. I could see the snow shimmering in your view; the moon making sparkles in the white glow created by the snow. This is the first poem I've read here that made me want to reach out and hug the poet . . .guess it's because I can feel your pleasure at the beauty. That's how I feel when we get snow here. Can't say enough . . LOVED IT, LOVED IT! JoMason 12/10/01 |
