(Snowflakes are Dancing was a pioneering electronic music album which spent 17 weeks in the charts in 1975, featuring Isao Tomita playing Claude Debussy’s tone poems on Bob Moog's first synthesiser)
Snowflakes are dancing
as light as a feather
Unique and delightful
but never forever
Impermanent beauty
Fleeting impression
As moments of joy
turn to damp and depression
Three stars
separated by nations and oceans
Were somehow connected
By musical notions
A chromium carnival
treat for the ears
Exquisite, enduring,
the sound of the spheres
When snowflakes have drifted,
in wintry weather,
in sculptural glory
they’re stronger together
Excellent poem - not sure about the album though 😂
Great poem but Snowflakes are Dancing made as much sense as Dark Side of the Moon!
Every day is a school day for me on the poetswall. Had never heard of this so had a listen- for some reason took me back to watching The Clangers.
