Snow Poems

It's Friday -- that makes this my first full week doing this! (on a T/R/F schedule) Isn't that so cool? I think it is, and kind of exciting. Also, that makes today the last batch of ABC Poems. On to new ground next week!

It snowed here this morning. I mean it has snowed here this winter already, but this is the first time in 2011. It's not much, just a few inches, but it's white, and fluffy, and cold. And my parent's dogs hate being outside in it. It's so funny to look at though, because there are still little bits of the tops of grass poking through the snow, so it looks more like it is partly melted rather than freshly fallen.


“Friday Mornings”
Abound in colder times
Blanketing the world,
Covering all in natural insulation
Dogs barking at wispy bits of cloud fall
Excited and entranced by this new gift from the sky


“Child's Eye”
A time of magic, of grace
Birthed into a new world
Curiosity blooming at new surroundings
Driven by desire,
Embracing the wonder of wonderlands


“Elements”
At the time of reckoning
Balanced on the edge of it
Color takes its absences
Decorating everything grayscale
Exiting to hibernation, waiting to become spring
