Snowglobe Poem by Cassandra Helen
Snowglobe
Sprinkles falling onto frozen faces
Don’t fight gravity
And other facts of life
Lost to the opulence of the city
2 am, afraid to sleep
“What will you give me for a dream? ”
Clicking of stiletto heels beat rhythmically
On the concrete
Scuffed from pacing the same street
Night after night
Scarred soles.
“What will you give me for a dream? ”
Look at the stars
Search for heaven
Is it burning brighter
Than the embers inside?
Snow melts to slush
Fade to gray
Tip-toe in, stay awake
Thoughts are easier to control than dreams
Purple shadows around purple eyes
Too afraid to sleep
“What will you give me for a dream? ”

I think you have a good poem here but you need to make it more consistent. What I mean by this is you repeat the phrase “What will you give me for a dream? ” then you don't repeat it between the the third and fourth stanza. Consistency makes for a better poem in my personal opinion. Its good stuff though
