Snow!

Snow!
White snowflakes

Falling

Softly on my jacket.

I don’t understand

Why some people

Don’t like snow.

It can be delicate,

kiss your skin and melt.

It can be wet,

Stick to your hat, jacket, gloves,

Turn the world around you into

Sparkles.

Sure,

Too much of a good thing

Can be difficult to deal with

Or turn deadly.

But that isn’t the snow we get around here.

The snow we get

Doesn’t come often enough

And doesn’t stay long enough.

So why not enjoy the beauty

And see it for what it is,

A treat from nature.

A reason to rejoice.

An inspiration for art, music,

And maybe even love.

Snow!
