In Depth of Snow

The depth, the depth,    the depth of snow

up to my ankles
      up to my knees
            up to my elbows
                        buries me

like the abominable,   the abominable snowman

I charge, I charge from the bank

kids scream
        dogs bark
           adults roll their eyes

onto sleds, onto sleds

go their eyes
     go their barks
          go their screams

Their screams,      their screams

on a snow-scented day
            on powdery foray
                     a time to play

In depth, in depth,       in depth of snow

     away
          we
              go

Those shrieks of delight from children is why I best like snow! Thank you for this terrific reminder.
