Analysis of A Snowy Day



The snow has stopped
The sun is bright
A hundred thousand diamonds
Are sparkling in its light
Rose-colored sundrops
Dappling boughs laden with snow
Making purple and mauve shadows
On the ground down below
Stark branches of trees
Reaching into skies pristine blue
God painted a winter picture
Using every color and hue
And gave me the words
To see it for you
