Snowflakes

 

fly in a frenzy of winter-white

they flit and fall

as a band of chick-a-dees

and moaning doves

the wind directing their afflictions.

They come at you

morning-strong

in a great wave of firefly might.

A dot of momentum

here – there and everywhere.

 

(c) 2018 Richard L. Provencher

 

Note: This poem acknowledges

the myriad of snow-fronts which

have assaulted Truro NS these first

days of January 2018.

nice description, lovely to watch if you don't have to (or can't anyway) get through it! Rhiannon

Right now the snow is pouring down, and my running shoes are filling with white. I stand and give thanks for my life, to my Saviour Jesus. Live the moment in thankfulness, I promise. Your usual comments of encouragement are so welcome, Rhiannon..

Nice images, nice alliterative touches, nice compound words. 'A dot of momentum - ' is a pretty close. Enjoyed.

Tony, thank you for your WOW comments. I hope you don't mind if I give some thoughtful comments for you to contemplate. Instead of "yellow" moon try "banana moon. Seek to replace natural, yet overused words or phrases.That is part of the fun of writing, saying the same thing in a different way.

Hi there Lady Lily, thanjk you for your kind comment. We just received another snow storm today, You notice I call "Mourning Doves" Moaning Doves. Do you think that is silly in a poem?
