Introduction

This is step four of Gary Ragnarsson's Frosted Primrose Challenge. In this part, I will share a poem about a snowflake. The format will be triolet and I will share my first attempt that contains references on the format at the end of this one.

The music is "Snowflake" by Kate Bush.

Read all about it here:

One Of Thousands Falling From The Sky

And Rejoicing In Your Uniqueness

You Still Wonder And You Question Why

One Of Thousands Falling From The Sky

You Only Fall You Can Never Fly

A Fleeting White Beauty, More Or Less

And Rejoicing In Your Uniqueness

    Love reading this poem backwards, try it see what I mean πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—

  • This was so magically beautiful! Loved your poem!

    The only two lines not repeated in the poem seem the most fretted with meaning: You Still Wonder And You Question Why You Only Fall You Can Never Fly I feel a sense of loss for the temporality of the snowflake. Beautiful poem!

  • I don't know, this seems kind of "flaky" to me, Mike--in all the best ways, of course! (Have I used that with you before?) Nicely done.
