Snow Day

cold, but
sun’s bright

season’s
grand sight

pure snow
gleaming

thrilled kids
screaming

snowballs
soaring

day’s not
boring

sleds are
gliding

grandma’s
riding!

snowmen
makers

cookie 
bakers

cocoa 
mixers

supper 
fixers

great day
near-gone

“Good night,”
all yawn

Dear Janice, you fantastic poem captures the exuberant and cozy moments that make snow days so fun and memorable! I especially loved "sleds are gliding/grandma’s riding!" and "snowmen makers/cookie bakers" A smiling delight for the senses, imagination and heart. Congratulations for your win in Brian's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

I can feel, smell, taste and see your poem. I wish to be a character in it. a cookie baker or a snowman maker.
