Snow Day

snow day has now dawned
time for my boots hats and gloves
inner child smiles wide

energy revived
gift of an entire day
mouth cracks from grinning

shrieking at tv
doing kitchen cartwheels
call up all my friends

texts on high alert
wild emojis everywhere
pinging and dinging

running to the hill
screaming with crazy laughter 
slipping and sliding

all my friends are here
even those who call in sick
other school days

go home with pink cheeks
shivering inside mittens 
dragging sled behind 

hoping tomorrow
will be a chain of snow days
happy exhausted
