“Snowflakes”

I have seen the pageview counts on ‘Mary’s Poem’. And, although I am grateful that people still read what I write as an artist {especially after being ‘The elusive Mary Lou’}, there were not any comments on that poem. Since I have seen the pageview counts, I know that there is {to quote Bruce Springsteen}, ‘anybody alive out there’, Blogging Friends, Readers, and Followers!! So, we are going to play a little one-question quiz!! Yes, it is Christmas-themed!! Question…. How many members of The Beatles does it take to write a Christmas song? Answer? Three out of four, apparently!! Who knew?! Can you name which members of The Beatles wrote ‘Wonderful Christmastime’ that was recorded by Paul McCartney and Wings? Yes, Google-searching its answer is absolutely allowed…. I had to!! Bonus points if you already know how many members of The Beatles wrote ‘Wonderful Christmastime’!! Leave your answers in my comments section!! One, two, three, four…. Go!! Peace out, Mary Lou

P.S. For those who do not celebrate Christmas, happy Hanukah, happy Winter Solstice, and happy Kwanzaa!!

Note…. ‘Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!’. ‘Jingle Bells’. ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’. Question…. What do those three Christmas songs all share in common? Answer…. Neither one of them are about Christmas at all!! Am I right? Where are Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus in those song lyrics? Nowhere!! Where are Santa Claus, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, and Rudolph in those song lyrics? Nowhere!! ‘Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!’, ‘Jingle Bells’, and ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’ truly all three have to do with Winter, not Christmastime!! That being mentioned? This week, I have decided to post a poem about snow!! Because, after all…. Even the song, ‘Winter Wonderland’ has absolutely nothing to do with Christmas!! This poem was composed during a historical arctic blast {aptly named ‘Snowzilla}, that occurred ten years ago…. When ‘it {did not} show signs of stopping’, our cul-de-sac was literally snowed in for several weeks on end, and we actually had a somewhat rare ‘White Christmas’!! Enjoy!!

“Snowflakes”

Written by Me…. Edited by Kara Kent!!

Snowflakes begin as insignificant specks;
From clouds they flurry, to the grounds collect;
What an incredible concept, they’re individually made;
By our Creator’s Hands whose Eye for detail never fades;
Snowflakes fall through skies so great;
Wrapping nature in white once the accumulate.
