waltzing snow flakes

credit photobucket

the fluttering flakes floated
flaunting new found freedom
waltzing before camera eyes

one proudly claimed the bigness
.....................of mother cloud
the other one...............insisted

its father cloud was bigger
more joined the aerial dogfights
turning that day into a blizzard

the clouds in the sky, oblivious
...............of the mayhem below
floated away nonchalantly

finally, spent, they fell
..............................to the ground
as other flakes crushed their cries

when the spring sun shone
they melted away
..............................without whimper
