See the small children having tremendous fun Now there’s a blanket of white in the winter sun Overnight pretty snowflakes fell crisp and deep Whilst all the little children were fast asleep Arms and legs are now outstretched in the snow Not making their movements too fast or slow Glistening snow angels are so carefully made Eventually the snow will melt; the ‘angels’ will fade Lots of precious memories made on this wintery day Snow is a wonderful medium where children can play Winter related acrostic poem contest Sponsored by Janice Canerdy 12~26~16

Very nice poem for the contest. Snow angels are wonderful. I'll never forget the year that we went to Chicago for a wedding on the coldest winter ever...after a snow storm. My son jumped out of the car when we arrived. and fell back into the snow to make snow angels. Now remember, we are from Florida! He didn't even have a coat on, but didn't seem to mind. Your wonderful poem brought back fun memories.
