A Bit of Snow

A bit of snow is just enough
To make the traffic slow 
And add some time to get to
Where it is you want to go.

A bit of snow can coat the path 
And maybe make you slip,
So walking gingerly prevents
A broken leg or hip.  

A bit of snow can form a pile
You need to shovel out,
But it’s to be expected;
That’s what winter’s all about.

A bit of snow, though, dusts the trees
And beautifies the scene.
If you live in a place with snow,
You know just what I mean.

I love snow, Ilene, particularly when I’m in… and it’s out. Looks nice on Christmas cards though and it’s certainly fodder for a poet… as you’ve most ably shown. Okay… I confess, it does look nice, new fallen and ‘untrodden’. But boy… do I detest those slushy footprints ;-)
