Snow Grotesques

Formed from nature’s elements
the battle of warmth and cold
heaps of white powder,
sugar grains lumped together.
Slowly eroded
by snow, rain, cars
new forms emerge
as snow grotesques.

Wow, I love the contrasts here...  You take something simple...  The process of falling and melting snow... and you turn it into something interesting, reflective, and elegant.  That is the gift a writer.  I like this...  Alot.  Excelent.

I really like the "battle of warmth and cold" theme - I think it would be interesting if the battle theme permeated the rest of the poem - for example, if "lumped" were a more active, violent world. I like the last line a lot. I almost want more - a longer description of the why they are so "grotesque" - nice start though :)
