POEM STARTER
Submitted by Robin Marlowe
Write a poem about unseasonable weather. e.g. A warm day in the winter, or snow in the summer.
Snow Against Spring
Snow caking the ground
Peeking through are flowers
Oh, what is found
Beneath the white powder
Warm soil and dirt
Melt the snow from within
The downfall of something
That just doesn’t quite fit in
The blooming colors and splashes of sun
Just don’t fit in with this odd plain one
Cold and harsh against the tulips of spring
It curls up and softens, loosing its bling
It’s white fades into nothing
A personality you can see right through
That’s not the snow
It’s just what the world made it into
Melted down into a warm water
Something different than what it started
Molded to shape the colors of spring
Transparent due to the others bullying
It now rests as dew on the tulips leaves
The snow gave itself away to spring, to please
Now it is a fluid you just look by
Not a sight like snow against the blue sky
