Making Snow Angels In the Snow

Free from the frigid grip of winter's blow  
we enter a time of hay fevers and colds
Though April showers help the flowers grow  
they can be unkind, to creaky bones of old 

The frosty cheeks of children everywhere 
are pinned against a dirty window pane 
The pristine snow of white has lost its glare 
replaced by icky puddles and wet terrain 

Spring, ...its not all about roses and shine
there are days when it rains and pours all day 
She weaves herself around winter's entwine 
and often leaves the earth too damp for play 

I rather be making snow angels in the snow
then waiting and watching, for flowers to grow

That is an especially beautiful angel above. I've lived in Vt & on the Canadien border so I 'know snow' Snowflakes all different are facinating aren't they? I could relate to your poem and I really enjoyed it, and yes, I would rather make angels in the snow then wait for flowers to grow in the wet days of early spring. Such pretty pictures your poem paints.

"Spring, ...its not all about roses and shine there are days when it rains and pours all day" it's a fact. Beautifully written on the other aspect of the season. Congratulations!

Brilliant poem. Would never have snow angels in Malta. The worst we can get is a rare fog.
