Snowwhere to Go There they are those tiny flakes that cause the world to freeze. Closing schools before they land just enough to tease... Waiting, waiting all I do for calls to go somewhere. Instead I'll shovel when it piles then soak to ease despair. Maybe ten or maybe twelve they never get it right But in the lines at grocery stores the crowds bought all in sight. It seems that in this part of world when snow is thought to come Tissue, milk and bread need buy afraid will starve, succumb To being stuck inside the home but what does one day harm What do they do on other days between the snows' alarm? M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

Very cutely written. I love snow. Even though I only see it in the mountains when I go. Poetry is beauty in words. |

Snow transforms the world into soft and white and clean and perfect for viewing. So is your poem. Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

Really enjoyed this, especially about the schools. It's true, many times schools around here close at the drop of a hat--I mean flake! You rhyme so well! ~miscellanea |

Smiling here - we are missing our snow - seriously - dryest Feburary on record - oy, what will happen come summer - the poor ski resorts are in a hurt - and yet, I love the sun - oh selfish me! Can't imagine what it would be like to live where a hint of snow meant panic - enjoyed this - Susan If I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . . |

I've only experienced two snow falls in my country. What magical days they were but we didn't have to shovel which I guess spoils it somewhat for you. |
