Oh CJ, this is priceless!! It brings back memories of youth, and parents who got down on hands and knees and crawled into their kids' snow playhouses. Do parents do that anymore?? I love it!
Ah, the days of building igloos seem a nineteen eternity ago. I never see kids building them now. But through reading this delightful poem, I indulged a bit of childhood memory frolic.

I love this one a kids dream............ Beautiful work CJ!!!
Loved this write CJ, I love your imagination! You've transported me back to a time when winters were simple and fun, the time of childhood. We couldn't wait for snow to come, so we could build snowmen and build our own igloos. Up early, eat a big breakfast, drink hot chocolate, bundle up to where all you could see was each others eyes peeking through the scarves, and build away. We would stay out and play until mommy would finally have to make us come in and warm, and back out we would go again. Ah snow and a kid, nothing like it. No worries about driving on it, going to work, power outages, no...just fun in it! Ah, snow...we've not seen much of it this year...maybe two inches! It is supposed to snow tomorrow, I'll believe it when I see it...Again CJ, you've given a chance to relive a wonderful memory through your wonderful poetry. You're a gem my friend....
Blessings,

Oh what memories you bring back CJ~ This is too wonderful! My brothers and sisters and I would all compete with each other, trying to make the best snow houses we could! After the plows finished our mile long drive, they would deposit the mounds of snow at the end. Our snowhouses, sometimes were 10 feet high! Quite dangerous, now that I think back!
Enjoyed the poem and the memories it sparks!
Love and Peace~

The other day, Karla and myself got in a snowball fight, even with my being on two crutches! (I won! *giggle*) We had an inch of snow the other day here in Texas, and we had a ball! :)
Mastering rhyme, rhythm, meter and the wonderment of a child all in one poem is difficult. Time and time again you have shown your ability to manage all of them. Another step toward your Poet Laureateship.
