Snowflakes

Snowflakes

 

If no two snowflakes are the same,

When melted do they come back again?

How do all the storm clouds know,

What each other makes for snow?

 

Though thought all different, ingredients same

Freely floating flakes, cousins of rain

Minuscule crystals suspended in lines

Destiny’s same - the kiss of sunshine

 

Just another of natures’ follies, like we all

The higher the cloud, the faster the fall

The longer the blizzard, the deeper the strife

The hotter the day, the shorter the life

 

Do we really care if snowflakes are the same?

Or are we just repeating an old silly game?

A game that can never ever be won -

When all the pieces melt in the sun

liked the poem especially causes its winter some good phrases. For example I liked the way you used alteration "Freely floating flakes" as it really made the words themselves seem free. However only criticism I have is the simple rhyming style but that's just preference. overall I liked it
