Hope for Snow

Tinkle of chime, of time, of blizzard blast. The kids are off and hope for snow to gush. The skies are scanned with hopeful overcast. Return to school where teachers rule and crush? The teachers lie, they’re paycheck low - want snow. Attention scowl would pass with gassy clouds. An arctic blast would cause their cheeks to glow; Call buses fast, and cheer the plucky crowds. The tender swirl of flakes, pug noses pressed against the icy breath of Jack Frost’s muse. The bump and toss, the smudge of Winter’s zest. Imaginations clip, as yellows cruise. Angels, in divine white, do flap each wing. Their mirthful shake upon the earth’s offspring.

Outstanding winter wonderland poem, Kim. You did a great job penning it. My grandkids had a two hour delay this morning for school. Hope you're having a creative and inspirational start to the week. Blessings :)

This is a good look at the clash between snow and the school schedule. A snow day, or no snow day; that is the question. We used to walk to school in the snow. With school buses driving each student, there is no excuse.

Both ways uphill, as the saying goes ;) As students, we prayed that the storm would cancel school. In Georgia, accidentally throw an ice cube ou the door…school’s cancelled.

Kim we have had close to three to four feet in two months. How dare you wish for more??? lol. Just kidding. I know the kids love staying home from school and engaging in all the snow activities. Love how you wrote this one. It put a smile on my face. Hope your New Year is going well. Blessings....

Enjoyed your poem, Kim, and after reading it a few times I'm in awe of it. The subtle rhymes and each line ends with a punch! Plus your style is as refreshing as the poem's wish.
