Today's poem comes from Snowflake Bentley, written by Jacqueline Briggs Martin and illustrated by Mary Azarian.
Snowflake Bentley
a boy loved snow
more than anything
found intricate patterns
more beautiful than imagined
to share what he had seen
learned to cut away
dark parts of the negative
waited hours for the right crystal
never found two alike
universal hexagonal shape
infinite designs
