A nature poem using repetition. -13th November 2012.


Spirit silver.


So it seems
The snow falls diligently;
blinding autumn grass
and making its fair canvas.


So it seems
The shy chirp of bird
only wants for the warm and rest;
pallid yet holding its beauty.


And so it seems
The sparkle of spirit silver
Makes for better reason;
the smiles cast upon our face.


So it seems...

So it seems.

I too loved the title and there's something that I can't put my finger on that makes this piece unusual somehow. "Snow falling diligently" just works perfectly.

I like the sounds this poem makes; the repetition works well.
