Snowflakes
I know they’re up there
Waiting on word to go
Trillions upon trillions
Little soldier flakes of snow
Plotting against us
Such devious little ones
Hording amongst themselves
Until they fall by the tons
A blinding whiteout
They attack you and me
Silent but deadly
Limiting our ability to see
Gaining strength as a Nor’easter
AKA a New England Blizzard
Commander in chief of winter storms
By every snowflake a respected Wizard
Arch enemy of the warm Sun
He enlists the help of arctic air
Beckoning warm precipitation
To ripe battlefield he dares
With howling winds they begin to fall
Accumulation of inch upon inch
The soldier snowflakes
Claiming, “This should be a synch”
But who’s this bundled up warrior
With soldier snowflake shootin’ machine
Snowflakes piling up so high
The enemy so new and mean
Clearing a driveway down to asphalt
Laughing as the snowflakes fly
Under the warm Sun
The snowflakes say good-bye

Great write and laughed at the video.
Thanks Michael, glad you enjoyed it.
Wonderful poem about snow. New England blizzards are about as bad I imagine as the great lakes lake effect snow. You wrote such a wonderful poem, giving the snowflakes character. Great job!
Thanks Christina. Don't think our New England winters are quite as bad as the Great Lakes snows, but we do get our fair share of Winter.
Good write and clip AP.
Thanks orchi, glad you got a chuckle(laugh) out of it. I know how you love to chuckle
Good fun write but we must respect snowflakes as every one is unique.
Yes Andy, as they say no two snowflakes are alike. But I have to wonder about that.
Another amazing write AP!
Thanks sky.
Love your 'army of snowflakes'! Well written, and lol with the movie!
Thanks for reading and watching Fred. Always room for a little mishap here and there.
