Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Snowfall Dusting

This morning’s snowfall dusting
Was a school-day-off surprise
And so exciting watching through
My grandkids’ eager eyes.

So shortly after breakfast
When I went to feed the birds,
 “I’m coming with you, Nana,”
Were not unexpected words.

There were snowballs, mini-snowmen 
And new paths tramped in the white,
A half an hour's frolic
To my granddaughter’s delight.

My grandson’s choice was waiting
To go out mid-afternoon.
Alas, he should have joined us
At a time more opportune.

For the temps went up and naturally, 
It’s melted all away.
I’m glad, at least, one grandchild
Had the chance for snowy play.
