Floating gracefully towards its brothers and sisters
Joining them in their fallen beauty
Small wet crystals, brilliantly shimmering
Intercepted, trapped upon a child's tongue
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Could you say a heavy fall of snow is a torrent?
Or would you just tell me that that sounds abhorrent?
You could call it a dump, but that's just not as lovely
Does it matter what state the precipitation's in, roughly?
Author notes
I can't wait for the ski season.
