WINTER STORM
Snowflakes bumping
gliding, crashing
down in heavy
storm-silence.
Such bough-drooping
bark-mottling
random artistry!
Watch as it leaves lacy
crystal hieroglyphs
everywhere.

Wonderful, Janice! I love how all the bumping and crashing at the beginning of your poem turns to "lacy hieroglyphs" at the end.
