Snow

A poem I thought of as I watched it snow a bit today.

Snow

The snow as beautiful as a million diamonds

Won’t you share some with Africa?

Author's Note

This poem just came to me for no reason. I was watching it snow and was struck by the beauty. It looked like a million diamonds so that’s where my first line came from. But the second line has two meanings. I hope I got this right… Africa doesn’t get much snow so the thought was sharing it with them. Also the other idea was sharing the diamonds as I know Africa is poverty stricken… I don’t know if this makes sense.. But reviews would be great, thanks!

Kind of nice with containing the feeling of the holiday with goodwill and peace on to give.

It's funny because I was thinking you were referring to how bad Africa needs clean fresh drinking water to drink and water for their crops. I love the beauty in this poem.

"The snow as..." - The snow's as.... or - The snow is as...

Other than that great job. :)

This is interesting, as most diamonds come from Africa - yet the average person does not share in the wealth. Sharing the wealth with our African brothers and sisters is a lovely, lovely value.

I really like this poem. It makes its point and it has a sharp delivery. The best part is that you never expanded the first line into 15 lines about how beautiful snow is. I've favourited it.
