It's the holiday season, and time for a little cold as well. Coming from Asia, I don't get to experience snow. But for anyone, anywhere, it signifies many things such as purity, change, flexibility and innocence. Enjoy these free-form verses.
Snow
White flakes
Form and fall
Its lovely whiteness
Untainted
Pure snow
Each flake
Owning its own shape
Devoid of the touch
Of dirt and shadow
Snow
That lays on the ground
A blanket
That covers
Animals in gentle slumber
Snow
Flakes that form and fall
But one
Cold season
In a year
Snow
The white flakes signal
That it is time
For things
To take
A different turn.
