One snowflake, a poem

I thought the snow would never come

To our forgotten yard

With only rotten leafs and last year's grass

Stand silently on guard.


The air - warm on a winter day;

The trees - all naked, but not chilled.

I sigh and look for white from sky -

For a lonely snowflake I'd be thrilled


And then, from distant blind clouds,

From Northern places very far,

I see a visitor, all white and perfect -

Unique and sparkly like a star.


I catch the snowflake in my palm,

If for a moment it is mine.

But then the snow melts

And I again, just wait and sigh.

An awesome poems that deserves votes up. Nice word selections and phrase usages. An excellent interpretation of how someone feels while waiting for the first snow flake.
