Miranda Hawley Poet Rhyme

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.

Gray sky gray sky dumps the blowing snow,
Snowballs and snow fights throw, throw, throw.
Gray sky gray sky cancel school you see.
This fills the boys and girls with glee.

**Edit suggestion taken from Andrea Dietrich!

Michelle Morris August 15, 2023 at 4:23 PM Fun and innocent. Snow is awesome. Thank you for sharing. Blessings. :-) Miranda Hawley August 17, 2023 at 9:49 AM 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.

Daisy Meadows January 4, 2023 at 10:56 PM A good winter poem. Well done. Miranda Hawley August 17, 2023 at 9:49 AM Thank you very much for reading this. Glad you like it.

Kelly Deschler December 16, 2022 at 7:46 AM 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! Miranda Hawley December 16, 2022 at 6:49 PM I mean I wrote that on a pretty snowy day.

Andy Chunn December 5, 2022 at 4:43 PM I like it Miranda....I'm getting into the Christmas spirit...and your poem helps a lot. Miranda Hawley December 5, 2022 at 5:54 PM Thank you and I am glad it helped.

Bill Baker November 23, 2022 at 4:07 PM Nice Rhyme poem, Miranda. Write On! Bill Miranda Hawley November 23, 2022 at 5:16 PM I was "composing" this poem on my bus while taking the kids home from school.

Andrea Dietrich November 20, 2022 at 4:20 PM 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.

Andrea Dietrich November 16, 2022 at 12:11 PM 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. Miranda Hawley November 17, 2022 at 10:10 AM 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. Miranda Hawley November 16, 2022 at 4:34 PM I like your idea and thanks.
