Akkina Downing Poet Blank verse

Blizzard of Snow You Made My Day

They're calling for a snow blizzard today
And like a little kid - my heart is jumping 
up and down of excitement... Lol!
Oh yes, no work no driving no need 
to get out of bed anytime soon
I'm sure I'll have double of work to do come 
tomorrow but today is too beautiful to care 
I'm content to watch this snow falling 
soundlessly down from Heaven 
piling up on top of my car making it 
larger than its size
Smiling to myself and appreciating life 
Sipping generously on my hot chocolate 
that tasted so good
...ahh, life is beautiful! 

Blizzard of snow you made my day!

       Smile
