This was way toooo much fun of a write. I never went shedding. Now, I would kill myself. Have a fun day writing away................

I didn't see this one before but it's so nice... I remember waiting and then the slide (don't hit the creek at the bottom!) then the long slog back to the top through knee high snow! Tired!! Elizabeth

Dear Bill, your charming poem brings back such beautiful childhood nostalgia for me, your golden pen must be enchanted. I still love the snow, and living in the Northeast, I see my fair share of it. I thought I had commented on this lovely piece yesterday but it seems like that comment has disappeared.. the PS gremlins are at it again! :) Warmest wishes, my friend.. ~Susan

I think you did comment and I replied. Opps... strange things do happen I guess. :-) Thank again for reading and commenting on my poetry, Susan. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill

Takes me back, Bill, One aspect i've learnt here on soup, as children, all over the world where snow is imminent, we all adhered to the scene you write of in this Senryu.. Love it. Harry

As it should be..kids outside, waiting their turns to sled…happy and rosy kids.

Children need to get out of the house and off their devices to experience real life. I love to see children interacting with each other and smiling. Have a great week, my friend. Bill

I remember waiting for my turn in so many ways back in the day, but I still do wait my turn in so many ways and places. I enjoyed reading this one. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara

Winter is such a happy time for kids in the West especially for those interested in sliding down the icy slopes. Vivid picturization, dear Bill.

Thank you, my friend. It was fun as a child. Have a pleasant week, Valsa. Bill

I can imagine that scene quite vividly, Bill, though unfortunately I never see it in real life since we never get any snow in Malta. ~ Best regards // paul

Thanks for the visit and comment, Paul. Yes, snow in Malta would be quite the surprise! :-) Have a great week my friend. Bill

Perhaps hoping to trip, and purposely fall into each other’s arms, very romantic senryu Bill, cheers David

:-) you're probably right, there's always a few of them. Thanks for the visit and comment Deb. Hugs, Bill

icy slopes are children's playground...you captured it beautifully. I have to admit, however, I didn't always wait my turn--wanted to beat my brothers down the hill. :-) Thanks for your Senryu

Sounds like you and your younger brother forsure, Sara. Happy times! Bill

Bill, another excellent Senryu. We just keep staring at the amazing landscape you made with your words since icy slopes are so fascinating to youngsters.

Kids do seem to love snow. I like a nice gentle snow, with snowflakes floating around. Have a nice weekend my friend. Bill

I agree, Milt, I'll use that in a longer poem. I just got on the winter is coming kick and wrote a few Haikus and Senryus for fun. Thanks for the visit and comment my friend. Bill
