Best Snowed Poems

As I’m snowed in cooking on the woodstove,
I’m doing the dishes, watching through my window
Heavy snow falling and swirling all around
It is mesmerizing to watch, calming in sight
Even as it piles up, there is comfort all around
The beauty is as far as I can see
A...

It snowed today. I made our hot chocolate just like I always do whenever it snows—rich with chocolate and topped with swirls of whipped cream. I made a cup for you and a cup for me.
I carried them to the bow window, where we always...

At a distance, snow
clumped beneath a pine tree

The crime is snowed over, Translation of Pierre Emmanuel’s  Il neige sur le crime

Are we buried under snow holding our silence
in what immense Cimmerian (collision) of terror ?
The mouth kept open in the shriek of interminable shade 
lips held fast in the frozen depths
we...

 . . .
And I pressed my palm against my heart,
I was holding in the ache and the pain;
my soul, stone cold and bleeding ice,
snow fell and melted into tears.

I was holding in the ache and the pain,
the weeping mourners were fading away;
snow fell and...

AS IT SNOWED
  (poem ending with the fine print in a liquor ad)

As it snowed, I heard thunder
 *the gods bowling snowballs to keep themselves warm.
Then the avalanche came.
 *like lovers who run both hot and cold.
The gods buried themselves until their Russian wolfhounds...

Flaky snow just keeps falling;
As if I had been lonely and sad.
Did nature feel as if I was bawling?
Flaky snow just kept falling;
Surely, for snow, I was not calling—
Now my body sits here, cold and mad.
Flaky snow just keeps falling
As if I had been lonely...

Wintry Siberia from east to west
White snow bedecks earth’s crest
When clouds go, the sun shines bright
Won’t melt the snow, given all its might.

It loomed dark inside so I ventured out.
The snowstorm left us powerless.

I can barely lift my shovel in protest
As the bobcat steamrolls ahead.
Stop trudging over my work!

But the driver could care less.
He is paid an hourly rate.

My daughter thinks he is cool,
Or his vehicle is,
The...

I looked out of my window
And in front of my eyes
A glistening whiteness
Was an icy surprise.
Falling flakes had created
A monochrome beauty
Except for the colours
Of the postman on duty.

Once bare brown branches
Had their modesty saved.
Footprints were stamped
Where elements were braved.
Car shaped white sculptures
Stood frozen on drives,
Whilst...

Eingeschneit das Dorf
Schon nach dem ersten Schnee
Nur verlassene Strassen

Gemsen suchen ihren Schutz 
Eine harte Zeit für alle

A ghostlike village
Soon after the first snow
Only abandoned streets

Chamoises seeking their refuge 
A tough time for everyone

Un pueblo fantasmal
Ya después de la primera nieve
Sólo calles abandonadas

Gamuzas buscan  su...

It snowed and snowed the day that I was born,
and for that reason I love falling snow;
in dreams, I walk the frozen woods till morn,
and from my pen the words just drip and flow.

Since childhood I've been still and I've been odd,
choosing...

Snowed in,
I yearn for Spring's
return; as a warm breeze
Her breath will melt the ice and snow,
exchanging Winter's white for colored blooms.
And my hope's that She'll arrive soon,
for I'm getting depressed
and feeling bored,
snowed in.
