I had the haiku idea about the snowflakes this morning. Arriving at work I came up with two other versions that start and end the same but have entirely different meanings and nuances

flurries of snowflakes seem to be lighter than air defy gravity flurries of snowflakes living to float on the air defy gravity flurries of snowflakes yearning to reach for the sky defy gravity

Very nice! We didn’t get even one snowflake this year. Even when I visited my grandkids in Minnesota for Christmas! What in the world!

Thanks for commenting. I'd forgotten all about this one.
