Snowflakes preoccupied stay cold,
bulldozers barge, uncaringly bold
but treasures. worth their weight in gold,
in service kind, are quietly enrolled.

great contrast of snowflake an bulldozer, and enrolled is such a clever word as tying with bulldozer. I think of your mind as this HUGE  cupboard with shelves and shelves and you always find the exact right jar for your poem's recipe  as soon as you open the door :0)

Ha! but no, it was just realising something of how I think the word snowflake is now used I think , and coming across that 'bulldozer' is an accepted word … I hope it ended up with clear meaning. We do want to be caring, but not insensitively! Rhiannon
