Winter Mystery

Some fluttering objects
drifting like gossamer
in the cold winter air

Wispy mists
coiling about
beneath the street lights
Snowflakes?

A small mystery
as more white fluff
moves about
like so many
winter butterflies
drifting
seemingly
without destination

but the mystery
lingers
as night after night
these fluttery objects
appear

One can only conclude
they are not objects
but living creatures
of mysterious
unknown origins

This is beautiful. The imagery in this piece is very strong and your description seem almost magical. (I know that sounds corny, sorry. But, really, it's wonderful).
The only thing I thing you could change is you say 'objects' quite a bit. You've used such a great vocabulary and the word objects in itself is the most attractive. I know how hard it is to find so many synonyms for a single word but I think it will make a huge difference in the flow of your poem if you change even only one of the 'objects'.
Anyway, really well done. I loved it.

A lovely and enchanting view of snow and winter time.

I like this, has a playful and mysterious feel to it...are they snowflakes or something else dancing around out there in the winter?
