It’s Snowed!

Falling flakes tickle your face,
cover the road in a snug embrace,
thick as cream, velvety soft,
let the flakes melt…or lick them off!

Crunching boots leave deep imprints,
a bird hop-hops its tiny footprints,
four-toed marks spattered around,
as it searches for worms in the white-coated ground.

Flashes of sunlight make roofs gleam and glint,
bright slabs of ice, cakes of cold mint.
Trees carry a heavy white load,
drip-dropping their burden onto the road.

A wizard has swished his magical wand
charming a puddle to a frozen pond.
I want that wizard to stay all day,
I don’t want this white world to go away!
