Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

First Snow

Snow is rain
with a playful
chill -- gaily
floating, gliding
bored with a ping
and a spill -- 

children, likewise
though fond of a dip and
a stroke, also love to run, jump
and sled down 
                  a
                    frosty
                            slippery 
                                     slope --

Valsa George January 9, 2025 at 9:02 PM This sounds so very exciting ! With children, you also must have enjoyed your first snow. Beautifully written with the last line in a slopping manner as the snow, gently falling. Joseph P. DiMino January 13, 2025 at 7:03 AM Yes, I do remember having fun in the snow, sledding down a hill. Youth can be wonderful!
