Notes About The Poem

(Entry for the Pleiades Please Poetry Contest, sponsor: Rob Carmack, submitted August 2, 2026)

Snow

Synonymous with cold,
So welcome at New Years,
Silently the flakes fall
Serenely and softly.
Soon, the chillness will bring
Sudden and sharp changes:
Strong storms and stinging sleet.

It's certainly not welcome here in Newfoundland either, Andrea! Thank you very much and Happy New Year!

In my part of Canada (Newfoundland), we had a little snow before Christmas and we are having a very light snowfall today. The storms will come in January and I am not looking forward to it!!! Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it. Happy New Year!
