Snow’s Epilogue for dVerse Poets

Snow’s Epilogue

We can’t codify the snowflakes nor put them into order.
They fall to make a blanket or a pile or a border.
They come in a blizzard and leave us in a trickle.
There’s something about former snow that is so very fickle.
It drips in drops from icicles and surges down the gutters.
Our attempts to modify it end in futile mutters.
I need not be prophetic to state the truth of snow.
It starts out in a flurry and ends up in a flow.

 

This poem does not match the beautiful imagery of the poem that inspired the prompt or of those poets who answered it. You can see a link to their poems below.  All I can say for it is that it does record snow’s ending .

The challenge for dVerse Poets is to write about snow.

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

    A contemplative epilogue, Judy, which I enjoyed vey much. That’s the thing with snowflakes; there is no order. I love the contrasts in the lines: ‘They come in a blizzard and leave us in a trickle’ and ‘It drips in drops from icicles and surges down the gutters’.
