I
Slide
Slip away
On virgin snow
Floating in the air
United with childhood
Free to remember days gone
I am in an old-time free fall
Time returning long lost memories
All given while I blend with virgin snow…

    How does this work exactly? What does synonyms only mean?

      Colleen usually gives us two words on the second Tuesday of the month. We must find synonyms (other meanings for words) of these words to create a Japanese style poem. Link to Colleen’s site for a full explanation!
