I am trying to write a poem in which
1)I mentioned myself to be aghast by seeing the beauty and fall in love with it at the same.
2)I also wanted to clarify if one could fall on snow…If not what preposition should one use?
1.OK
2. Into
Reported for forum change.
I think you can fall onto snow, also. Depends on how hard packed it is.
I suppose you can be aghast to see beauty in the context of something evil. I’d use upon the snow in a poem, just seems more poetic to me I guess.
I’ll throw in a third for onto ------ it just has a better sound/feel to it.
amidst the fallen flakes
From a poetic sense I would want to enhance the feeling of lightness and softness in the snow. I think into would best accomplish this.
Let me just move that over to Cafe Society for you.
Agog. Nobody uses agog anymore.
Also, gobsmacked.
adrift amidst the fallen flakes was I
when taken aback by the beauty, a lie*
I have an entire desktop theme with more than 50 photos of abandoned decaying buildings that are eerily beautiful. So, yes.
As for snow, you fall into it, especially if a crust gives away and suddenly plunges you two or three feet into it, so you’re now in snow past your knees. It can be so deep that it’s terrifying in the same way quicksand is, but at the same time the coldness of it is sucking the heat and life-force out of you as you desperately struggle to regain your footing.
No, I love winter, why do you ask?
*I tumbled forlornly amid yellow, crystalline flakes
Behold the spot where pee Fido makes
I wish to bid this snowfall Adieu
Lest I next tumble upon Fido’s poo*
Dang, time for a career change, me thinks…I had no idea I had such raw talent for poetic verse!
