(a very silly poem about snow )
i like the use of the 'then nothing' at the end as it brings it to a sudden stop... nice piece, rach.. it is perhaps a little silly but silly is good.. x
Not a silly poem Rach. It's funny how others see our stuff. I've written a poem in about 5 minutes, while watching TV and talking to my son all at the same time, and then find that others say it is the best thing I've done. Then there's maybe a poem I feel proud of that no-one notices. But the one you may write on the back of a fag packet, without even thinking about it, maybe the better poem. Where do they all come from? That's what I'd like to know - or maybe better not knowing! ;-) xx
Cynthia, I take the point entirely. It had slipped my notice.It ought to be '....as a grey slush cadaver...'
I'll put it right
cheers and a happy new year,

It is good, Rachel. Nothing like one-on-one with creation, whether it be a snowflake or a bird or a flower; it is a very exhilarating existence to live like this.
Watch for grammar agreements (which I mention only because you are so good). If you went straight for: But doomed to end as grey slush cadavers... you'd have no hitch with singular and plural. You would also lose the intimacy of the individual flake that I think you want. Small, small point, but consider it.

Thanks Ann and Andy for the comments. I really wanted the snow to stick and it felt like a waste all these big huge flakes coming down and just melting... I got my wish this morning though, we're blanketed in the stuff and the kids are all off school....joy, rapture!
Cheers
