Fallen Snow

How different people see the element of snow in this world

As I look outside my window,

Seeing bits of fragmented snow on the deck,

It dawns on me,

Fallen snow,

A world known to all, seen by all; but within the 'eye' experiences something entirely different.

The elemental of 'fresh' white snow on a vastly larger scale:

Children see that school is closed; playing all day in the snow.

Adults see traffic, shoveling, possibly walking in it; it may come to mind 'not this again'

Writers see imagination at work.

Seeing snowman being built all across yards in the neighborhood,

Someone living a cabin amongst the mountains,

A Russian 'mushing' his sled of wolves onward.

With the element of snow we all see things differently, which means anything in this world is possible.

Author's Note

Woke up today and saw that it snowed last night. So I wanted to do a poem about it. Enjoy.

Terrific write my dear friend and great structure i like how you use the thoughts of children and adults when snow hit when a writers mind is only thinking of a story very insightful.

This is true of so many things in life, not just snow. You did a nice job on capturing the essence of perspective. Nicely done friend :0)

Indeed a writer does see the poetry in snow...Ever since childhood I loved taking walks in the snow covered woods...it always felt like I was peering into an enchanting world. Thanks for writing this..lts made me happily reminisce quite a bit.

Not many like Winter too much, but it is a beautiful season, and a definite inspiration for poets. A very creative and beautifully written poem.

We each "see" what and as we each "see"...
