Snowing Seeds Poem by Glen Kappy
Snowing Seeds
It's snowing seeds!
From all the elms
with graceful limbs
that arch above the park
the off-white
nearly weightless disks
begin their journeys
floating in the wind.
A huff—
and on the street ahead
some move in lines
like foamy surf
that nears a shore.
Some sweep around
and travel into driveways.
Some in circles spin.
And some—
amidst the sounds
of shaking leaves
and gathered chorus
of their ticking—
make wide arcs in phalanx
up the street—
against the wind and gravity! —
as if they had
a life their own—
and they do
it comes to me—
they really do.
Thanks, Suzanne, for taking the time to find, read, and comment on this poem. This was one of those experiences that called to be described. -Glen
Beautiful Nature poem. Cycle of life portrayed beautifully through the flowing seeds. I really liked the words 'weightless disks'. Thanks for letting me know about your thought provoking poems.
You're welcome. And thanks for reading and commenting. This was something to witness, and the words came quickly. -Glen
The swirls and whirls of the world in motion. Nearly weightless discs reveal the invisible patterns of the day around us. A playful dervish while others line the street/shore until a vehicle or breeze whisks them madly on their way. For my own personal preference this is poetry at its finest. A casual conversation in the street due to obligation makes for difficult concentration when in our periphery nature is at play and the seeds gather, scatter and gather again............fantastic!
Wow! Thank you, Edmund, for the strong affirmation in your thoughtful response. Many have been the gifts- the observations, the ideas- that have from walking in area near my home. -Glen

Thanks, Adeeb! Of the longer poems (for me) that I’ve written in the last two years or so, this is one of my favorites. This was a wonder to witness. -Glen
