Kim Rodrigues Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Written in Yalto form, invented by Edward Ibeh

A Quick Snow

a quick snow,
Georgia awaits,
unless
a cloud breaks shell,
lambasting with lace.
outlandish
wake up…
rubbing eyes;
genie
grants wishes
to school kids.
parents a-salt-ing,
shove and shovel of flakes,
when
balls of snow attack.

Hilda Greenhough January 8, 2025 at 7:48 PM I like the rustic tones of this poem. It sounds like a Currier & Ives painting. Who won the snowball fight?

Paige Hind January 8, 2025 at 6:13 PM Ah, snow days...here, it snowed and it's going to snow again soon. I loved your fresh perspective. <3

Joseph P. DiMino January 8, 2025 at 8:00 AM An entire snow episode in a compact poem. Lovely, complete imagery of family life during a snow storm. Love the happy time of shoveling while the kids are hitting you with snow balls. Great, cheerful read.

Terrell Martin January 8, 2025 at 5:35 AM Hi Kim, I know nothing of the "Yalto" form, but I love the imagery, especially "lambasting with lace." Not my style of writing but certainly a soulful and uplifting "peace" of poetry. Kudos, cheers & all the best, Terrell
