Snow


Snow

The lucent sky is full of snow;
A bright hue, white and grey.
It’s really to beginning to feel
Like a bitterly cold day.

There has been a snowfall
A white blanket on the ground!
Toboggans slide down hills
Children smile and run around.

Built a snowman with a hat
Made some angels in the snow
In the settled snowfall
Until their faces are aglow.

Flakes that settle on the trees
Looks like a pretty wonderland;
A fairy has waved her magic wand
All over our motherland!

The sky has an ethereal look
The temperature is dropping.
Life as we usually know it
Is slowing down, near stopping.

There’s been much anticipation,
The sky’s full of eerie glow,
Now here’s our precipitation -
Freezing sleet, ice and snow!

Rain has fallen, now there’s slush
Icy roads are now made safe,
Underfoot much watered mush
But my hands still chafe.

There’s still a little flurry
Wait for the big unfreeze!
Spring is just around the corner
With a milder warmer breeze.
