Snowflake

A simple star you are not

A floating hexagon of white

Drifting silently on the ice breeze

Your intricate pattern stays unseen

Nature's finest work dissolved

On my heated windscreen

One design within another

Neatly divided into segments of six

Water at its most imaginative

Each of you is somehow unique

You come in as an army

Crystallising the world

Lovely...to saysto much about something so little...

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Hi Leigh, Could we call this a 'flakey' piece? No seriously it left me cold! More serious still a nice little observation of something beautiful and underrated.

The last two lines are the most beautiful and most imaginative...what a beautiful way of describing a thing so small but so mysterious and beautiful....great job leigh:-):-(:-D.
