The Snowflakes Fall

Alan Caron 1958 (Swansea)



The snowflakes fall.

The candles burn brightly as they break up the night. Oh my God, what a beautiful sight! As I lay by your side, I feel warm inside. I look outside and can see the snowflakes as they fall from the sky. I look into your pretty blue eyes, and I see all the years that have gone by. I came by to say hi. But you asked me to stay. What more can I say? I can see the sun's rays on the window pane. It's going to be a glorious day. I don't want to leave; please ask me to stay. You already paid for your way. Thank you anyway.

Alan J. Caron

    The poem "The Snowflakes Fall" by Alan J. Caron is a beautiful piece! The imagery created is vivid and the emotional connection expressed through the lines is truly touching. The language used in the poem is elegant, yet simple and and heartfelt, enhancing the overall sentiment of the piece. It really captures the moment of reflection and longing in an intimate manner.

    A suggestion for improvement might be including details that trigger other senses besides sight. While the visual descriptions are wonderfully rich, incorporating more sensory details such as touch, sound, taste, or smell could add even more depth and color to your already lovely poem. Some lines like 'I can see the sun's rays on the window pane' and 'I don't want to leave' could be slightly enhanced with greater rhythmic flow or more poetic phrasing to maintain the sophisticated tone.

    Another thoughtful touch would be to elaborate on the emotional depth; try to pinpoint the feelings within the speaker more precisely. This would provide layers to the narrative of the poem and engage readers on a deeper emotional level.

    Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed your poem! It was a joy to read and it's clear that you have a natural talent for portraying emotions and creating evocative imagery. I look forward to reading more of your work!
