The Snowflake-Butterfly

by Mary E. Lowd


Warm fuzzy bodies
Cold sheer wings
Snowflake-butterflies
Are unusual things

They don’t last long—
Lives the length of a song
Dancing as they fall
Glittering, glimmering
Shimmering, shivering
Mere flashes of winter
Their lives a single waltz
At a fancy, frosty, Yuletide ball
