Snowfalls I have known. They seemed so high so long ago When I was just a lad The banks that filled my yard with snow were built there by my dad. From out of bed to dark of night I’d fly my favorite sled. I’d run and slide with wild delight Until my face was red. Then came the years to make some dough with shovel in my hand. My back would burn from sodden snow I flung across the land. As years have passed, I’ve seen it fall from Maine to Mexico. No flake I’ve loathed, I’ve loved them all Each storm that I’ve seen blow. So here I sit at window’s side with whiteness all around. I’m dry and warm where I abide I’ve kinda gone to ground. Roads and schools are closed, you know In Portland town today. And Mama Nature runs the show, I think she’s here to stay. I like to feel the timelessness that weather lets us see. And as for you, I’d like to guess You love snow just like me.

Oh, please send some more our way, Ken! What snow we had melted, and all we've got now are terribly frigid degrees! |

Ah! Someone to make snow angels with! Pleeeease! You know how I love the snow... and Portland..? My sister can tell you how we love Portland! Now..is there a skating rink in the town square? Not to worry...I'll explain it all to you sometime soon. In the meantime...shall I throw another log on the fire?  ~Warm smiles & cosy hugs, Nancy~ In the midst of winter.. |

I've had some notes from you above who've posted here to praise. You want some snow, I pity you Please give me old sun's rays. But still and all, I'm here to say I'm glad you happened by. I love to pen these words that rhyme And you're the reason why. Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

Very nicely done kayjay. My sister Enchantress is a little confused. Portland is not where the skating rink is located sister dear. That's where I bought my umm....unmentionables...hee hee. Spirit Cove had the rink. Oh, kayjay, this write has brought back some wonderful memories.....but my sister's memory is not what it used to be. This one is going into my library! hugs, Chris"At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet." |
