I love the picture that you choose to go with your poem, they are a perfect match.
You captured my attention from the first line to the last, your words are so true no matter how we feel about the snow. It has a purpose its helps to the land to give us a green lawn and beautiful flowers to bloom
This is what I call a food for thought poem
Thank you for sharing

    Julie very good success with this if you so do choose to attempt same. I truly found the self imposed challenge with enjoyable and filed with many stops and starts to arrive at a truly readable finished product, please let me know if you do such.

I've never understood the point in this form, but you managed to cleverly arrange the words to also read backwards here, snow as quilting is a good metaphor, love Dolly x

I enjoyed this palindrome style of poetry. For sure, it is different, and maybe enticing at the same time to read the same poem twice, and each time it has sort of a different tone.

    amada thank you the task of doing this does present a self imposed challenge, that I found quite enjoyable to accomplish.

Very nicely done. What a challenge to write a palindrome poem. I'm glad I stopped long enough to read it -- twice. I.e., from top to bottom and bottom to top. I guess it would be nearly impossible for punctuation and caps to match both ways.

    Susan, yes I had a large amount of setups and starts to try to functional punctuation it the same. All for not. Thanks for the review.

This is very lovely. It's the circle of life and nature, like when we pass away into dust and once again become part of the earth. Very well written, I really enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing.:)

I've seen palindromic sentences but this is first time I've ever seen a palindromic poem. What an accomplishment to make it all make sense and present such a vivid image.

Great poem. Wonderful use of words to form a beautiful poem and great picture. Snow covers all with no discrimination whatsoever. It is nature quilt. Great work.

I like the poem starting with "snow" and ending the word with "snow". You must put a lot of efforts into this one. Certainly you deserve the credit.

You described very well how the winter can destroy all the leaves.

Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you I enjoyed the process which does take one into a series of stops and starts to achieve the proper flow.
