First Snow

First Snow

You see the clouds come rolling,
As they rustle into town.
The clouds begin exploding,
As the snow falls to the ground.

You get a sudden chill,
As you put on your winter coat.
The snow falls on your lashes,
As through the air it floats.[/b]

In my own humble personal little opinion... :P
I didn't care for the adjective exploding because it brings to mind things like dynamite and fireworks. Not something like snowclouds.
But I'm not particularly professional myself so ... :)

It is short, but it's a nice poem. The rhymes weren't stiff but it was still paralleled nicely.

I liked this a lot. The exploding clouds is the best part. I would have like it more if it was a bit longer, it actually took me back to a few moments in the winter. Few poems can do that for me. Interesting, I would love to see more added to this. If not, it's good on it's own too...

I liked it but I agree with what Boni said, you could have added a few more lines. But it's still good. :D

Cute. I could see it in one of those Jack Prulensky books or something. I like it. Nothing life-changing or profound, but I think it'd be a nice thing to read to your kids in a collection of poems.

Nice work. :D

Pretty poem! Simple, good metering, not too forced, and lovely imagery. Pretty good job there... ;)

Very nice and simple! I think it could have a few more verses, as it sort of ends abruptly, but very good job :)

I like how simple it is, but still conveys your message. Good imagery, I really like this poem.

Keep up the good work.
