Snowflake so small, just one,

Delicately landing on the rock

To render in the sun

                                      -- Veronica Madsen

 There once was a boy named Ben

Who had to be home by ten,

While out on a date,

He saw he was late

And was never heard of again

The form of writing a haiku had a great deal of influence on this poem about the snowflake. Notice the image it reveals and that several words were chosen carefully to create a deeper meaning.

The limerick was fun to write which I believe is due to the form. It was easy to fall into the rhythm (aabba) while writing this. The silly idea behind the limerick made it ‘dance’ onto the page.
