Winter Poem

I know that winter is just arriving and this post should probably wait for spring, but I loved this poem by Nikki Giovanni. The crocus pictures are so wondrous and made me smile so I thought you might enjoy them also! Hope everyone has had a great and relaxing holiday weekend!

once a snowflake fell

on my brow and I loved

it so much and I kissed

it and it was happy and called its cousins

and brothers and a web

of snow engulfed me then

I reached to love them all

and I squeezed them and they became

a spring rain and I stood perfectly

still and was a flower

-Nikki Giovanni
