Transparent, lacy crystals delicate,
Form varied patterns complex and ornate,
Although millions of snowflakes do form,
None alike, all unique and intricate,
Falling together make a fluffy storm.
Feathery ice crystal, a flake of snow,
Delicate sixfold symmetry displays;
Particle around which frozen drops grow,
Softly falling on icy winter days,
Lending cheer to the festive holidays.
