Snow Storm
The land was white and freezing cold
the snow had come and taken hold.
A blizzard moved in from the north
and told the flurries to go forth.

A howling sound brings with it chills,
frozen words drift through the hills.
The trees wear coats of fluffy snow,
the land’s so bright it seems to glow.

Snowflakes drifted down from the sky
whipped by the wind in swirls they fly.
A light and freezing screen they form,
the blizzard grows into a storm.

Robert Patinson





Happy Caterday and Bunnieday!

You post nice poems. Ten years ago on Christmas Eve it started snowing in my South Texas City. By Christmas morning we had one foot of snow and it was a wonderland!

It was so rare that most all news media mentioned it. My son, my oldest daughter [who passed away 2yrs ago] and two granddaughters were here. My little Yorkie, Piper, was one year old. Talk about excitement, it was like a miracle to have snow and to have it on Christmas too! I had forgotten the ‘softness and the quiet’ feeling a snowfall brings.

Our newspaper had a full section of pictures about it last week. It brought all the memories back.
