Second Snowfall

December fifth it snowed, the second snowfall of the year, exactly a month from the first.

Gently the snowflakes fall

My heart beats fast

I can hear them call

On me a spell they cast

 

Once I step outside

I feel so much more alive

So I let out my childish side

And into the snow I dive

 

Soon the snow will be

Hard enough to make a ball

My friends will have a snowball fight with me

And after dark, still the snow will call

 

I smile as one snowflake

Takes its place

Upon my face

A quiet embrace

 

As the sun arrives

I shake my hair free

Of all of the little snow flake guys

And let the subtle sun shine down on me

beautiful and fitting picture to go with this. As i was reading, i really couldn't help but smile. I love the snow, and this year it seems as if there hasn't been any worth speaking of, so this poem really made me miss the cold, bitter, but beautiful snowflakes. A really cute poem that ended perfectly.

the part about " the little snow flake guys" was just so sweet.
So anyways, lovely poem.
But on the technical side, the second to last stanza you have an "-ace" word where there should be an "-ake" but really, that didn't take away from the awesomeness of it. Just that sometimes when people post on here they post the same ones for competitions/contests and i'd hate for you to get docked because of one little line.
Ok, so enough of my blathering.
Fantastic poem! Write On!

I love this piece! It has a calming feel to it and I love the descriptions and the imagery. Winter is a great season. I wish I could experience the snow. I live in a place where it doesn't get cold enough to snow...we only get rain :) Great piece! :)
