Floating down to touch my tonue
landing lightly on my face
gracefully covering the ground
like a white blanket.
Behold the stillness it brings
as everyone gets ready for the event
of the making of angels and snowmen
the true coming of winter.
Let’s get out our sleds
and take a ride down the hill
or build our snowforts
and have a snowball fight.
We have waited all year
for this moment in time
to enjoy this side of nature.
When the newness wears of
and we come in from the cold
our feelings turn into dread
when we relize we have to
go shovel the stuff!!!

This is wonderful, Kitkat!  You have captured  snow in all it's fun and beauty and also the 'pain in the butt' side of it too! Great ending!

Well, I've seen snow all of maybe ten times in my life.  I surely love the stuff but then, I've never had to shovel it either...
Love the poem still.
