A quickie to see if I got it. Snowflakes soft as kittens delicate as crystal sparkling on children’s eyelashes as they etch angels in the downy white billows winter white miracle in this cold north country while I shovel Snowflakes [This message has been edited by JenniferMaxwell (09-21-2006 08:21 PM).] |

Perfect Jennifer! As soon as I find some quiet time I am going to have a go at this form. Marge is going to love it and be so proud! I know I am! Hugs~Nancy ~Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile~ |

Thanks, Nancy. It was so kind of Marge to take the time to explain the form. It's really not that difficult, I only had to edit once. |

I think few in their right mind could call this short of excellent! I really enjoy this one in its simplicity and down to earth use of the English language. Since you want suggestions as most of us here do, I have two, take them for what you want: *I admit to not being good with rhythm but it seems like taking out the 'this' which might be unnecessary and perhaps hinder the falling motion of the end of the poem. *The only other part I found to be weaker than the level of the rest of the poem was "in the fleecy down" which just didnt fit as well for me. Nonetheless, untouched it is very enjoyable! I look forward to more... Burnt Siena |
