Winter Snowflakes

Winter snowflakes spiral into our hearts
too soon ivory magic beauty departs
in northwest Oregon snow crystals are rare
I love when beautiful ivory ice flares
they float down upon the cold winter air
ice flakes of beauty kill weather so bare
eyes glow in delight from this frost white show
hearts sing at the beauty setting sites aglow
I'm longing for snowflakes to spiral softly down 
longing for frost white beauty to carpet the ground
beautiful snow, I love it, let its beauty glow
let it paint Oregon, let ivory ice flow
to see snowflakes float down past my window, so divine
to play in the crystal beauty would cause my soul to shine
come and blanket the bare land, cause beauty to enshroud
create your ivory ice flurries for each deprived crowd
winter snowflakes spiral so deep into our hearts
ivory magic beauty frosts the lands with art

For some reason this reminds me of shadowland. I don't remember snow in it but even now, in Texas, in May I can see it and almost feel it, almost. I was five, I think the last time I saw real snow.

Great imagery with "ivory ice flares".

I kinda wish it snowed in Australia sometimes, never seen snow before :'( This is a beautifully spun poem.

Beautiful silvery, winter imagery. Makes me think of the snow queen's palace... or perhaps Saint Nicholas's castle in the north pole....

Lovely write. Hmmmmm. Makes me cold and long for snow again...

An extraordinary beautiful poem. Fabulous winter scene in Oregon. We enjoy the snow when it does snow up, don't we? :)

[Black Cat Fever]

Yes, some parts of Oregon snowfall is rare these days. Once upon a time it was different. Your poem here is truly lovely, it paints the beauty that snow falling is.
