See the pretty snowflakes
Falling from the sky.
On the walk and housetops
Soft and thick they lie.
On the window-ledges
On the branches bare:
Now how fast they gather,
Filling all the air.
Look into the garden,
where the grass was green;
Covered by the snowflakes,
Not a blade is seen.
Now the bare black bushes,
All look soft and white,
Every twig is laden—
What a pretty sight!

The Weather is used to help explain a beautiful sight. The poem no longer is just a poem, it seems more because it includes weather. In this case, snowflakes are used in the poem, so the time of the year would be Winter. I would say that the poem might not seem as descriptive, because it is more creative to use weather. Rhyming is used in the poem to put a catchy tune to it. And, a lot of descriptive words are used which explain a lot more. The poem doesn't further my knowledge about weather except for making me realize that there is a lot more to think about when weather occurs. Like, just thinking of how everything looks different or feels different.
