Snow

As we enter the season when we have snow, this poem is my impression.

Snow

Black and white
Shades of grey --
Brilliant snow
Lights the day

Clean and bright
The winter scene
Pearly snow

Is everywhere seen

Yet the snow

Is still not pure

Formed from dust

Like mortals, here

Dust is woven
Crocheted to snow
And robes the world
From heaven, below

Frozen and still
The sleepy land
Under snowy blankets
Till Spring, again

© S. K. Smith November 1986

Winter is so beautiful, and snow seems like perfection. But everything has a flaw, and with winter, it lies within its cold touch. Great poem.

Liked the way you evoked the many shades and hues of this stuff called snow, and also the analogy between humans and snow. Yes, someday the Ultimate Spring will arrive. Great poem!

Susan,

Beautiful poem and imagery. It is a shame that snow does get a bit tainted from pollution though.
