Analysis of Snowed in



Coldness summarizes earthly tears
in a white crystalline glittering.
Covering up like a cloak of love
huge number’s closure reigns.

Each flake shows its complex signs
if you simply take a closer look.
It’s the heap that’s hushing up
how the loner reaches.

Unique in signals of their own,
frozen drops descend,
to see when thaw arrives

each and every fate
will always end alike.

In 2007 she received a Certificate of Accomplishment as one of The Best Poems and Poets of 2007 issued by poetry.com and the International Library of Poetry for her poem Choked Truth, her own translation of "Verstikte waarheid", one of the poems in the book.
