White Flakes

**This is my attempt at trying to write a nursery rhyme. I think this might be "free verse" but if I am wrong, will someone please tell me where to properly put this poem at. Arctic wind, arctic wind blow blow blow Send the flakes a flying snow snow snow. White flakes, white flakes coming down real fast. White flakes, white flakes use a snow suite and a mask. Grey sky gray sky dumps the blowing snow, Snowballs and snow fights throw, throw, throw. Grey sky gray sky cancel school you see. This fills the boys and girls with glee. **Edit suggestion taken from Andrea Dietrich!

Snow might be okay until that is that I have to drive in it. I am more of a summer person myself. Thank you very much.

What a fun poem to read! This brought me back to those wonderful snow days when the school would close down for a day or two... Great work, Miranda. Keep it up!

I was "composing" this poem on my bus while taking the kids home from school.

oh I love that you made it all rhyme now. I think you did a great job. It was unnecessary but sweet of you to mention me.

The first verse is nursery rhyme because it rhymes. Second verse you could easily change to rhyme. A suggestion for example with the last two lines: Gray skies cancel school, you see/This fills all the boys and girls with glee.

I've updated using your suggestion, and giving you credit by name for my updates. I also updated and put this in rhyme. Thank you for the help, even if just a line and a suggestion on where this should go.
