Best Snowfall Poems

Snow falls softly late one night
In the darkness it does bask
I dread the job tomorrow
Shoveling will be my task

Beauty is in the eyes of the viewer
I see nothing but giant flakes of work
The trees all have snow on this first shower
Dreading the day of a...

SNOWFALL


The sweet tasting chill of winter’s wishful dreams

glaze in silence distant rippling streams

waken to gray crystal glow

first act - windblown show

descending

SNOW

blanketing

beneath downy throw

memories of what we know

entombed in ivory’s dark extremes

for life is fleeting and death not all it seems

Schneefall / Snowfall / La Nevada  (Kintaishi or Kanshi)

Der Schnee fällt wieder
Wo die Natur friert
Dort kehrt Ruhe ein 
Wildenten rufen



The snow falls again
Where the nature freeze
There lodges peace 
The call of wild ducks


Otra vez cae nieve
Donde la naturaleza congela
Allí aloja la paz 
Llamada de...

I woke this morning to the sound of sleet tapping on my windows but after several minutes there had been a hush. I looked out and saw a soft blanket of snow. Not in itself cause for wonder, but in New Orleans it's very unusual....

Twirling flakes float down blanketing the ground
they give the earth a covering of white,
flakes fall silently, they don’t make a sound
this winter wonderland brings such delight.

Young children awake and rouse from their beds
and they open their curtains with great glee,
a quick breakfast, then they dust...

The First Snowfall

Twinkling, glistening
Happy the glow
Early this morning

For winter’s first snow
Illumined the shimmer 
Reflections of love
Softly they fall
Tiny flakes from above

Settling white
Neath an evergreen sway
Open your eyes
Windows bring the display
Frost covered whispers
Aloft they now flow
Lingering beautifully
Look at the snow

Snow came throughout the night,

Not that we were aware.

Outside though it gently fell,

We awoke, and could but stare.  

From our frosted window panes

All looked so serene.

Lamplight lit a wonderland,

Lustrous winter, gleamed.

The last of autumn’s leaves begins assault
Of winter gales. The sap within the trees
In hibernating xylems call a halt
To most activity to some degree.
The birds that once resided amongst them
Already left for warmer spots unknown.
A few remain behind but are condemned
To weather winters snow and...

The cold rain of fall
Will come to an end
After depressing us all,
As leaves start to bend
When snowflakes, heaven does send.

The first tentative flakes
Land gently and sweet.
Our breath, this sight takes,
As they land at our feet.
We raise our eyes, the sky to meet.

Within minutes the ground
Becomes...

Before the snowfall
People decorated
Outside of their homes
everyone has a
Different theme ideacolor

Some do roofs tops 
The lights bright colors
The bare trees are lit
While wrapped on the bottom
Bushes wrapped in lights

Stairs railings have lights
One or two strings
When it darkness
All lights will shine
Lightening the darkness
With the pretty lights

During a midnight snowfall
You hear nothing
Unlike the pitter patter
When it is raining.
During a midnight snowfall
It can't knock you down 
Unlike the merciless wind
That throws you to the ground.
During a midnight snowfall
It is quiet enough for slumber
Unlike the rumble rumble
When there is thunder.
During a midnight snowfall
It...

After the flurry
My soul delights
Soft curves before me
Ice cream dreams
Shadows dancing and stretching
Defining infinite frozen sculptures 

Ice diamonds 
floating through the air
Glistening
Riding the shafts of pale sunlight
Landing on my nose
Blanketing my eyelashes
I capture them on my tongue
A frosty treat

A shiver up my spine 
I wiggle...

“If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome." ~ Anne Bradstreet

Winter’s quick wind slips shadows through my soul,
Risking dawn’s light, leaving a mournful glow.
Deprived winking stars, moon...

Birdsong in the morning, droplets of dew
White fluffy clouds, glorious sunshine too
Moonlight and starlight remind me of you
A vision in all that comes into view.
 
In babbling brooks and soft breezes that blow
I glimpse the angel I lost and love so
All things are heightened in...
