Snowstorm by Adam Rutter


The bulbous silvery ball

Shiny coating

Mirror like reflection

Curves the window

Snowflakes contour the curves

Sliding down like bubbles in wine glass

Flakes spin and twirl in wind

Water filled snowstorm

Snow shaken in glass ball

Falls to the bottom

Snowflake after snowflake

Piles on top of one and other

Building a white wall

Reaching up to window sill

Conifer trees bulging out from the sides

Branches whitened with powder

Where have all the snow globes gone? A great evocation of the snow storms we loved as children with our special worlds in a toy globe.

Thank you for your feedback Liz. I still have some snow globes, but they have all sadly dried up.

I have just displayed one of these snow globes on our coffee table, they are nostalgic and oh so comforting. Well observed Adam.
