Caren Krutsinger Poet Rictameter

Snow Storm

snow storm
whirling, twirling
a few snowflakes at first,
she starts out so unassuming,
within an hour, snow is on the ground.
school is cancelled, children laugh
snow plow activity
housebound, hot chocolate
snow storm

M. L. Kiser November 6, 2018 at 11:01 AM Oh I did live for those days. Of course, back then, we had few but, those few were priceless. Caren Krutsinger November 6, 2018 at 11:27 AM In 6th grade, our school was cancelled for three weeks, we went back for one day, and it was cancelled for another week which gave my sister and I time to perfect our snow forts.

Andrea Dietrich November 2, 2018 at 8:34 PM Great rictameter, Caren. I sure wish i had more time to spare so that I could peruse more of your poetry . have an awesome weekend! Caren Krutsinger November 2, 2018 at 11:19 PM Thank you Andrea. Some day you will have so much time you will say "I wish I did not have so much time!" Until then please enjoy yourself!

Carolyn Devonshire November 2, 2018 at 6:44 PM Love the way you personify the storm as a "she," then have her whirling and twirling like a dancer. You paint a delightful image here, Caren, and in a form I haven't seen very often. Nice work! Hugs, Carolyn Caren Krutsinger November 2, 2018 at 11:20 PM Thank you Carolyn. I said to myself "hey, what about a rictameter, isn't it time you did another one?" and then snowstorm came into my head and I let her dance around whirling and twirling.

Michelle Faulkner November 2, 2018 at 3:40 PM I was stuck at work overnight during a freak snow storm a few years back - not fun for me! Caren Krutsinger November 2, 2018 at 11:21 PM Many years ago in Kirksville, Missouri, the snow storm came so fast, we were afraid we would be stuck all night in the gym with 400 children and no pillows, blankets, mommies, or teddy bears! Luckily, we got them home!

Rhona Mcferran November 2, 2018 at 10:11 AM This sounds great! Although... I hope I don't have nearly as much snow to shovel this year- last year was ridiculous! ;P Caren Krutsinger November 2, 2018 at 10:59 AM We had a mild year last year. It is not even cold enough here for a coat yet. But I am optimistic.

Tom Cunningham November 2, 2018 at 8:03 AM Doesn't it look lovely watching from inside. Caren Krutsinger November 2, 2018 at 8:52 AM I love it, inside and outside! But outside is more difficult now, as cold air triggers my asthma, Tom.
