Cynthia in the Snow by Gwendolyn Brooks

Summary: Cynthia in the Snow is a poem about a girl named "Cynthia" who has thoughts about snow

Characters:

Cynthia - She is the speaker in the poem and tells us what she thinks about her experience in snow

Sections 1:

The speaker tells us about the things that snow does in the poem: sushes, hushes, flitter-twitters, laughs and whitely whirs away
The snow longs to be elsewhere, to only be enjoyed in vision and mind not in touch
The word "snow" is nowhere to be found within the poem and the speaker hints the existence of snow very well without using the word "snow"
Even with the title not being present one could probably infer that the speaker was talking about watching snow

Other Notes:

This poem was added by Gwendolyn Brooks to her book "Bronzeville Boys and Girls" in 1956
Gwendolyn Brooks started writing poetry at the age of 7 in Chicago
