Snowflakes

by Linda A. Copp

Snowflakes spill from heaven's hand
Lovely and chaste like smooth white sand.
A veil of wonder laced in light
Falling Gently on a winters night.

Graceful beauty raining down
Giving magic to the lifeless ground.
Each snowflake like a falling star
Smiling beauty that's spun afar.

Till earth is dressed in a robe of white
Unspoken poem the hush of night.

I found this poem and thought it was very appropriate for today! I really liked it because it's short and sweet, but at the same time, very descriptive. In first line "Snowflakes spill from heaven's hand", the author uses personification to convey the image of snowflakes falling from heaven. I like this line because I think that snow is one of the prettiest things God made, and this line portrays snow to be a gift from God. Also, the poem is filled with imagery, which paints a picture for the reader. "Graceful beauty raining down... Till earth is dressed in a robe of white". To me, these lines are a perfect description of snow. After todays snow, everything was covered in a blanket of white. I've always loved looking out the window to see the ground covered in snow, it's so beautiful and peaceful.
