Snow Flakes Poem by Emily Dickinson

Snow Flakes

Rating: 4.7


I counted till they danced so
Their slippers leaped the town,
And then I took a pencil
To note the rebels down.
And then they grew so jolly
I did resign the prig,
And ten of my once stately toes
Are marshalled for a jig!

Dang, the very words are doing a merry jig! She has a light touch with this one that she maintains throughout. Splendid! ! !

Fabulous metaphor by one of the great poets of all time. Makes me want to dance right along with her.
