A Child’s Snow

Tractor treads in fresh white snow,

perfect form with heel and toe.

Angels fallen, rise again,

thoughtless sins of little men.

Fence posts peeking, winter’s quilt,

woven cold with crystal silk.

Words in vapor down the hill,

carve a path both loud and still.

    “…winter’s quilt/ woven cold with crystal silk.” VERY NICE! LOVE THAT IMAGE! Your choice of trochaic was perfect for this poem, too! I’m loving this one!

    Beautiful photos to go with your fun poem. It’s been one of those snowy/rainy/windy days teasing all kids that there may be a snow day. I hoping for that as well and I hope I never grow up!!! ;)

    meant “musicality”. Sorry.
    The sorrows of translation… ;)

    Alternating rhyme in tetrameter rhythm, very nice– partnered pictures assist to complete the scene…

    child-like feelings captured in mature prose… :) btw, i’d like to run and jump and slide in that field of snow. :)

I would love to hear from you!
