Snowflake
Sitting at the window,
I viewed…

A sporadic snow shower,
Slowly weaving from Heaven to Earth,

Most landed together,
In a lumped pile on the ground…

Save for one, gleaming crystal,
Gliding up, down, and up…
Molded,
Buffeted by the winds of Fate,

Set apart at its very creation…

Spirited by Destiny,
Brought to rest on a high, unreachable branch of the old Pine.

And there it sat, alone, gazing at its amassed brothers,
Until the sun rose and melted it,
Carrying it home to the Sky…

About The Hippos

Sailing Hippos
Louisville, Ky, United States
Marina-
Marina is kinda cool, it depends on if she is talking or not. She likes writing, and is really good at it, especially poetry. She sees people's auras, which is pretty awesome. However, don't piss her off, because then she can put a Bosnian curse on you. She also plays soccer, and is going pro at some point in her life.

Ben-
Ben is the runt of the Hippos. He's often picked on and abused by his "larger" siblings. He is amazing at everything he does, besides being nice, because he is an arrogant son of a hippo. He has an unquenchable thirst for water, which is good, because we live in water. He doesn't know how to put on eyeliner, but it doesn't matter...because he's a guy. We hope.
