When I snow, I remember
The Spirit of Nature & Earth, reflecting on snow.16 total reviews
Comment from Gloria ....
I think you have done a fine job in your on the spot poem. Snow being the epitome of pureness in its structure, and blanketing of the earth.
How awful it is to see the dirty black snow covered in the moral and physical pollution of mankind.
That said, there remains the cool, refreshing "feel" of snow on a quiet evening.
Much enjoyed. :)

If the gauntlet was thrown you more than met the challenge! You have the DNA of a poet...
Personification of our world works so effectively here.
We are startled by the loss off innocence and purity snow represents...
Only after the fact do we realize we've been the perpetrator of the assault!

Interesting challenge! Thanks for sharing what you have. There are some nice ideas there. You should try to develop it further and see where else it leads.

Quite a poem that made me think; God made the rainbow as a covenant, I believe that God created snow, as you state in your poem, to cover up the mess we have made with war, industrial revolution and so on...

Absolutely beautiful! I love the theme of purity, the ultimate to which we aspire. When I saw the title, I was a bit perplexed. But then I quickly saw that, not only have you personified the element, but you have embodied it yourself, going back to some idyllic past before wars and man-made horrors. Your free verse flows eloquently and I wonder why you didn't enter it into the appropriate contest. And that nice piece of monorhyme in stanza 3 adds fun and fluency. Very well done and memorable! Take care Debbie

This is a beautiful tribute to the resilience of nature that has survived gross disrespect and neglect by man. Snowfall is the perfect way to cleanse the damage - if only for a brief respite.

Mindful words, snow is meaningful, a gift from the sky. If an endless bounty then no wars can happen. Breath snow, taste snow, become a snowflake, no two are alike. The same with us. The battle is over.

Ciao!
I love to see my town under a blanket of fresh snow because it gives me the impression that peace reigns.
Mother Nature is beautiful.
I wish we would stop exploit and abusing Earth.
And instead, take care of Her and live in harmony.
