Flurry of snow
By. Elisabeth Jang

The dead tree, hard rock,
Cherry tree, apricot tree, and maidenhair tree
Can bloom soft magnolia
Benches are empty for a long time
Lonely, cold, and unattended
The snow hugs them, soft and warm
People become a walking tree
Attracting white flowers to head and shoulders
Walking around the city of white

This poem is very interesting in a way because it gives many different examples of the senses the author felt for example, she used different kinds of trees to express one thing she had in mind. She also used different types of rethorical device such as the metaphor "Walking around the city of white" and alliteration "People become a walking tree". But it does not have any rhyme scheme. The poem seems to be about how the snow fills up the loneliness of the forest and the things around it. The poem is very easy to understand and is overall expressed in great sensory.
